Photoorganocatalysis constitutes a powerful domain of photochemistry and organic synthesis. The scaffold of pyrrolo[3,4-c]quinolinoles exhibits interesting and potent inhibition against various enzymes, making them really promising pharmaceutical targets. Herein, we describe a photochemical methodology for the reaction of N,N-dimethylanilines with N-substituted maleimides, utilizing benzaldehyde as the photoinitiator. A variety of substituted N,N-dimethylanilines and N-substituted maleimides were converted into the corresponding adducts in moderate to high yields.

The bis(carbonyl) manganese(I) complex [Mn(CO)2(1)]Br (2) with a chiral (NH)2P2 macrocyclic ligand (1) catalyzes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of polar double bonds with 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. Ketones (43 substrates) are reduced to alcohols in high yields (up to >99 %) and with excellent enantioselectivities (90–99 % ee). A stereochemical model based on attractive CH–π interactions is proposed.
