, p. 3539 - 3542 (1995)
Diorganoditellurides 1 (1a R=n-Bu; 1b R=Ph), by treated with sodium borohydride, reacted with propargylaldehyde to give corresponding β-(organotelluro)acroleins 2 with high (Z)-stereoselectivity in good yields (2a: Z:E=89:11; 2b: pure Z-isomer); Tellurides 3, on treatment with n-BuLi, reacted with carbonyl compounds to afford conjugated dienols with retention of olefin geometry in high yields.

One-pot procedures bear the potential to rapidly build up molecular complexity without isolation and purification of consecutive intermediates. Here, we report multicatalytic protocols that convert alkenes, unsaturated aliphatic alcohols, and aryl boronic acids into secondary benzylic alcohols with high stereoselectivities (typically >95:5 er) under sequential catalysis that integrates alkene cross-metathesis, isomerization, and nucleophilic addition. Prochiral allylic alcohols can be converted to any stereoisomer of the product with high stereoselectivity (>98:2 er, >20:1 dr).

Ligand-controlled reactivity plays an important role in transition-metal catalysis, enabling a vast number of efficient transformations to be discovered and developed. However, a single ligand is generally used to promote all steps of the catalytic cycle (e.g., oxidative addition, reductive elimination), a requirement that makes ligand design challenging and limits its generality, especially in relay asymmetric transformations. We hypothesized that multiple ligands with a metal center might be used to sequentially promote multiple catalytic steps, thereby combining complementary catalytic reactivities through a simple combination of simple ligands. With this relay catalysis strategy (L/L?), we report here the first highly regio- and enantioselective remote hydroarylation process. By synergistic combination of a known chain-walking ligand and a simple asymmetric cross-coupling ligand with the nickel catalyst, enantioenriched α-aryl alkylboronates could be rapidly obtained as versatile synthetic intermediates through this formal asymmetric remote C(sp3)-H arylation process.

Secondary benzylic alcohols and diarylmethanols are common structural motifs of biologically active and medicinally relevant compounds. Here we report their enantioselective synthesis by α-arylation of primary aliphatic and benzylic alcohols under sequential catalysis integrating a Ru-catalyzed hydrogen transfer oxidation and a Ru-catalyzed nucleophilic addition. The method can be applied to various alcohols and aryl nucleophiles tolerating a range of functional groups, including secondary alcohols, ketones, alkenes, esters, NH amides, tertiary amines, aryl halides, and heterocycles.

A Cp*Ir(III) complex (1) of a newly designed ligand L1 featuring a proton-responsive pyridyl(benzamide) appended on N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has been synthesized. The molecular structure of 1 reveals a dearomatized form of the ligand. The protonation of 1 with HBF4 in tetrahydrofuran gives the corresponding aromatized complex [Cp*Ir(L1H)Cl]BF4 (2). Both compounds are characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography. The protonation of 1 with acid is examined by 1H NMR and UV-vis spectra. The proton-responsive character of 1 is exploited for catalyzing α-alkylation of ketones and β-alkylation of secondary alcohols using primary alcohols as alkylating agents through hydrogen-borrowing methodology. Compound 1 is an effective catalyst for these reactions and exhibits a superior activity in comparison to a structurally similar iridium complex [Cp*Ir(L2)Cl]PF6 (3) lacking a proton-responsive pendant amide moiety. The catalytic alkylation is characterized by a wide substrate scope, low catalyst and base loadings, and a short reaction time. The catalytic efficacy of 1 is also demonstrated for the syntheses of quinoline and lactone derivatives via acceptorless dehydrogenation, and selective alkylation of two steroids, pregnenolone and testosterone. Detailed mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations substantiate the role of the proton-responsive ligand in the hydrogen-borrowing process.

Air-stable, easy to prepare, homoleptic cobalt(II) complexes bearing pendant-modified phenoxyimine ligands were synthesized and determined. The complexes exhibited high catalytic performance for reducing aldehydes and ketones via catalytic hydrosilylation, where a hydrosilane and a catalytic amount of the cobalt(II) complex were added under base-free conditions. The reaction proceeded even in the presence of excess water, and excellent functional-group tolerance was observed. Subsequent hydrolysis gave the alcohol in high yields. Moreover, H2O had a critical role in activation of the Co(II) catalyst with hydrosilane. Several additional results also indicated that the cobalt(II) center acts as an active catalyst in the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones.

Two different classes of ruthenium complexes, namely, [1-mesityl-3-(2,6-Me2-phenylacetamido)-imidazol-2-ylidene]Ru(p-cymene)Cl (1c) and {[1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-3-(2,6-Me2-phenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene]Ru(p-cymene)Cl}Cl (2c), successfully catalyzed the one-pot tandem alcohol-alcohol coupling reactions of a variety of secondary and primary alcohols, in moderate to good yields of ca. 63-89%. The mechanistic investigation performed on two representative catalytic substrates, 1-phenylethanol and benzyl alcohol using the neutral ruthenium (1c) complex showed that the catalysis proceeded via a partially reduced CC hydrogenated carbonyl species, [PhCOCH2CH2Ph] (3′), to the fully reduced CO and CC hydrogenated secondary alcohol, [PhCH(OH)CH2CH2Ph] (3). Furthermore, the time dependent study showed that the major product of the catalysis modulated between (3′) and (3) during the catalysis run performed over an extended period of 120 hours. Finally, the practical utility of the alcohol-alcohol coupling reaction was demonstrated by preparing five different flavan derivatives (13-17) related to various bioactive flavonoid natural products, in a one-pot tandem fashion.

The first implementation of a molybdenum complex with an easily accessible bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand to catalyze β-alkylation of secondary alcohols via borrowing-hydrogen (BH) strategy using alcohols as alkylating agents is reported. Remarkably high activity, excellent selectivity, and broad substrate scope compatibility with advantages of catalyst usage low to 0.5 mol%, a catalytic amount of NaOH as the base, and H2O as the by-product are demonstrated in this green and step-economical protocol. Mechanistic studies indicate a plausible outer-sphere mechanism in which the alcohol dehydrogenation is the rate-determining step.

Alcohols are versatile structural motifs of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fine chemicals. With respect to green chemistry, the development of more sustainable and cost-efficient processes for converting ketones/aldehydes to alcohols is highly desired. Herein, a direct light-driven strategy for reducing ketones/aldehydes to alcohols using isopropanol as the reducing agent and solvent, in the presence of t-BuOLi, under an air atmosphere at room temperature is developed. This operationally simple light-promoted Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) type reduction can be used to produce various benzylic alcohol derivatives as well as applied to bioactive molecules and PEEK model compounds, demonstrating its application potential.
