Well-defined and air-stable PN3-pincer manganese(ii) complexes were synthesized and used for the hydrogenation of aldehydes into alcohols under mild conditions using MeOH as a solvent. This protocol is applicable for a wide range of aldehydes containing various functional groups. Importantly, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, including ynals, are hydrogenated with the CC double bond/CC triple bond intact. Our methodology was demonstrated for the conversion of biomass derived feedstocks such as furfural and 5-formylfurfural to furfuryl alcohol and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfuryl alcohol respectively.

The diphosphine-ruthenium complex, [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] (dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene), where the two carbonyls are mutually cis and the two chlorides are trans, has been found to serve as an efficient precursor for the synthesis of new complexes. In [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] one of the two carbonyls undergoes facile displacement by neutral monodentate ligands (L) to afford complexes of the type [Ru(dppbz)(CO)(L)Cl2] (L = acetonitrile, 4-picoline and dimethyl sulfoxide). Both the carbonyls in [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] are displaced on reaction with another equivalent of dppbz to afford [Ru(dppbz)2Cl2]. The two carbonyls and the two chlorides in [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] could be displaced together by chelating mono-anionic bidentate ligands, viz. anions derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hq) and 2-picolinic acid (Hpic) via loss of a proton, to afford the mixed-tris complexes [Ru(dppbz)(q)2] and [Ru(dppbz)(pic)2], respectively. The molecular structures of four selected complexes, viz. [Ru(dppbz)(CO)(dmso)Cl2], [Ru(dppbz)2Cl2], [Ru(dppbz)(q)2] and [Ru(dppbz)(pic)2], have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In dichloromethane solution, all the complexes show intense absorptions in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Cyclic voltammetry on the complexes shows redox responses within 0.71 to -1.24 V vs. SCE. [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] has been found to serve as an excellent pre-catalyst for catalytic transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation.

A novel methacrylate-based cross-linked polymer gel bearing an iridium photocatalyst showed air tolerance and pumping recyclability features through its tunable swelling and deswelling ability. The photocatalytic activity of the polymer gel was demonstrated through an E-to-Z isomerisation reaction and in an azide-alkene [2+3] cycloaddition.
Ambient-pressure highly active hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes catalyzed by a metal-ligand bifunctional iridium catalyst under base-free conditions in water

A green, efficient, and high active catalytic system for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes to produce corresponding alcohols under atmospheric-pressure H2 gas and ambient temperature conditions was developed by a water-soluble metal–ligand bifunctional catalyst [Cp*Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(OH)][Na] in water without addition of a base. The catalyst exhibited high activity for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes. Furthermore, it was worth noting that many readily reducible or labile functional groups in the same molecule, such as cyan, nitro, and ester groups, remained unchanged. Interestingly, the unsaturated aldehydes can be also selectively hydrogenated to give corresponding unsaturated alcohols with remaining C=C bond in good yields. In addition, this reaction could be extended to gram levels and has a large potential of wide application in future industrial.
Method for synthesizing primary alcohol in water phase
-
Paragraph 0030-0031, (2021/07/14)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing primary alcohol in a water phase. The method comprises the following steps: taking aldehyde as a raw material, selecting water as a solvent, and carrying out catalytic hydrogenation reaction on the aldehyde in the presence of a water-soluble catalyst to obtain the primary alcohol, wherein the catalyst is a metal iridium complex [Cp*Ir(2,2'-bpyO)(OH)][Na]. Water is used as the solvent, so that the use of an organic solvent is avoided, and the method is more environment-friendly; the reaction is carried out at relatively low temperature and normal pressure, and the reaction conditions are mild; alkali is not needed in the reaction, so that generation of byproducts is avoided; and the conversion rate of the raw materials is high, and the yield of the obtained product is high. The method not only has academic research value, but also has a certain industrialization prospect.
Application of bis(phosphinite) pincer nickel complexes to the catalytic hydrosilylation of aldehydes
Chang, Jiarui,Fang, Fei,Tu, Chenhao,Zhang, Jie,Ma, Nana,Chen, Xuenian
, (2020/10/27)
A series of bis(phosphinite) (POCOP) pincer ligated nickel complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiX (X = SH, 1; SCH2Ph, 2; SPh, 3; NCS, 4; N3, 5), were used to catalyse the hydrosilylation of aldehydes. It was found that both complexes 1 and 2 are active in catalysing the hydrosilylation of aldehydes with phenylsilane and complex 1 is comparatively more active. The expected alcohols were isolated in good to excellent yields after basic hydrolysis of the resultant hydrosilylation products. However, no reaction was observed when complex 3 or 4 or 5 was used as the catalyst. The results are consistent with complexes 1 and 2 serving as catalyst precursors, which generate the corresponding nickel hydride complex [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiH in situ, and the nickel hydride complex is the active species that catalyses this hydrosilylation process. The in situ generation of the nickel hydride species was supported by both experimental results and DFT calculation.

Selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols with KB3H8, an air- and moisture-stable, nontoxic, and easy-to-handle reagent, in water and THF has been explored under an air atmosphere for the first time. Control experiments illustrated the good selectivity of KB3H8 over NaBH4 for the reduction of 4-acetylbenzaldehyde and aromatic keto esters. This journal is

The l-lysine-?-dehydrogenase (LysEDH) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus naturally catalyzes the oxidative deamination of the ?-amino group of l-lysine. We previously engineered this enzyme to create amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) variants that possess a new hydrophobic cavity in their active site such that aromatic ketones can bind and be converted into α-chiral amines with excellent enantioselectivity. We also recently observed that LysEDH was capable of reducing aromatic aldehydes into primary alcohols. Herein, we harnessed the promiscuous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity of LysEDH to create new variants that exhibited enhanced catalytic activity for the reduction of substituted benzaldehydes and arylaliphatic aldehydes to primary alcohols. Notably, these novel engineered dehydrogenases also catalyzed the reductive amination of a variety of aldehydes and ketones with excellent enantioselectivity, thus exhibiting a dual AmDH/ADH activity. We envisioned that the catalytic bi-functionality of these enzymes could be applied for the direct conversion of alcohols into amines. As a proof-of-principle, we performed an unprecedented one-pot “hydrogen-borrowing” cascade to convert benzyl alcohol to benzylamine using a single enzyme. Conducting the same biocatalytic cascade in the presence of cofactor recycling enzymes (i.e., NADH-oxidase and formate dehydrogenase) increased the reaction yields. In summary, this work provides the first examples of enzymes showing “alcohol aminase” activity.

In this work, a new Ru(II) complex with the redox-active pincer 2,6-bis(phenylazo)pyridine ligand (L) is reported which acts as a metal-ligand bifunctional catalyst for transfer hydrogenation reactions. The isolated complex [(L)Ru(PMe2Ph)2(CH3CN)](ClO4)2; [1](ClO4)2 is characterized by a host of spectroscopic measurements and X-ray structure determination. It is diamagnetic and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis reveals that [1]2+ adopts a distorted octahedral geometry where L binds Ru center in meridional fashion. The observed elongation in the coordinated azo bond length (1.29 ?) is attributed to the extensive π-back bonding, dπ(RuII)→π*(azo)L. The complex [1](ClO4)2 acts as an efficient catalyst, which brings about catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions of a broad array of aldehydes and ketones in isopropanol and in inert conditions. The selectivity of the catalyst for aldehyde reduction over the other reducible functional groups such as nitro, nitrile, ester etc was also investigated. Mechanistic studies, examined by suitable control reactions and isotope labelling experiments, indicate synergistic participation of both ligand and metal centres via the formation of a fleeting Ru?H intermediate and hydrogen walking to the coordinated azo function of L.
