We describe the palladium-catalyzed Nazarov-type cyclization of easily accessible (hetero)arylallyl acetates to pentannulated (hetero)arenes. This method provides ready access to various types of bi-, tri-, tetra-, and pentacyclic cyclopentanoids under ne
Base-free transfer hydrogenation of aryl-ketones, alkyl-ketones and alkenones catalyzed by an IrIIICp* complex bearing a triazenide ligand functionalized with pyrazole

An IrIIICp* complex (2) bearing a triazenide ligand functionalized with pyrazole was synthesized and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and the structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The catalytic activity of 2 and the control complex 3, which lacks of pyrazole in its structure, was evaluated in the reduction of aryl-ketones, alkyl-ketones, α,β-unsaturated and γ,δ-unsaturated ketones. The catalytic system, using either 2 or 3, exhibited good to excellent selectivity when tested with ketones and alkenones at 90 °C in 2-propanol as hydrogen source under base-free conditions. Reactivity of 2 in 2-propanol and NaH gave a neutral metal hydride (4) while in the absence of base gave two major cationic hydrides species (5 and 6).
Chemoselective Electrochemical Hydrogenation of Ketones and Aldehydes with a Well-Defined Base-Metal Catalyst

Hydrogenation reactions are fundamental functional group transformations in chemical synthesis. Here, we introduce an electrochemical method for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes by in situ formation of a Mn-H species. We utilise protons and electric current as surrogate for H2 and a base-metal complex to form selectively the alcohols. The method is chemoselective for the hydrogenation of C=O bonds over C=C bonds. Mechanistic studies revealed initial 3 e? reduction of the catalyst forming the steady state species [Mn2(H?1L)(CO)6]?. Subsequently, we assume protonation, reduction and internal proton shift forming the hydride species. Finally, the transfer of the hydride and a proton to the ketone yields the alcohol and the steady state species is regenerated via reduction. The interplay of two manganese centres and the internal proton relay represent the key features for ketone and aldehyde reduction as the respective mononuclear complex and the complex without the proton relay are barely active.
