Paragraph 0034; 0085-0088, (2020/05/14)
The invention relates to a hydrogenation reaction method, and belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis. The hydrogenation reaction method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: carrying out a hydrogen transfer reaction on a hydrogen acceptor compound, pinacol borane and a catalyst in a solvent in the presence of proton hydrogen, so that the hydrogen acceptor compound is subjected to a hydrogenation reaction; the catalyst is one or more than two of a palladium catalyst, an iridium catalyst and a rhodium catalyst; the hydrogen acceptor compound comprises one or morethan two functional groups of carbon-carbon double bonds, carbon-carbon triple bonds, carbon-oxygen double bonds, carbon-nitrogen double bonds, nitrogen-nitrogen double bonds, nitryl, carbon-nitrogentriple bonds and epoxy. The method is mild in reaction condition, easy to operate, high in yield, short in reaction time, wide in substrate application range, suitable for carbon-carbon double bonds,carbon-carbon triple bonds, carbon-oxygen double bonds, carbon-nitrogen double bonds, nitrogen-nitrogen double bonds, nitryl, carbon-nitrogen triple bonds and epoxy functional groups, good in selectivity and high in reaction specificity.
Aldehydes as alkyl carbanion equivalents for additions to carbonyl compounds

Nucleophilic addition reactions of organometallic reagents to carbonyl compounds for carbon-carbon bond construction have played a pivotal role in modern chemistry. However, this reaction's reliance on petroleum-derived chemical feedstocks and a stoichiometric quantity of metal have prompted the development of many carbanion equivalents and catalytic metal alternatives. Here, we show that naturally occurring carbonyls can be used as latent alkyl carbanion equivalents for additions to carbonyl compounds, via reductive polarity reversal. Such 'umpolung' reactivity is facilitated by a ruthenium catalyst and diphosphine ligand under mild conditions, delivering synthetically valuable secondary and tertiary alcohols in up to 98% yield. The unique chemoselectivity exhibited by carbonyl-derived carbanion equivalents is demonstrated by their tolerance to protic reaction media and good functional group compatibility. Enantioenriched tertiary alcohols can also be accessed with the aid of chiral ligands, albeit with moderate stereocontrol. Such carbonyl-derived carbanion equivalents are anticipated to find broad utility in chemical bond formation.

Despite their enormous synthetic relevance, the use of polar organolithium and Grignard reagents is greatly limited by their requirements of low temperatures in order to control their reactivity as well as the need of dry organic solvents and inert atmosphere protocols to avoid their fast decomposition. Breaking new ground on the applications of these commodity organometallics in synthesis under more environmentally friendly conditions, this work introduces deep eutetic solvents (DESs) as a green alternative media to carry out chemoselective additions of ketones in air at room temperature. Comparing their reactivities in DES with those observed in pure water suggest that a kinetic activation of the alkylating reagents is taking place, favoring nucleophilic addition over the competitive hydrolysis, which can be rationalized through formation of halide-rich magnesiate or lithiate species. Turning lithium green: A new protocol for the selective addition of Grignard and organolithium reagents to ketones in green, biorenewable, and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is reported. The protocol establishes a bridge between main-group organometallic compounds and green solvents (ChCl=choline chloride; see picture). The DESs are superior reaction media for highly polar organometallic compounds.
