Reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) homo-coupling of benzyl or allyl halides with H2using a water-soluble electron storage catalyst

This paper reports the first example of a reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) homo-coupling of benzyl/allyl halides in aqueous solution by using H2as an electron source {turnover numbers (TONs) = 0.5-2.3 for 12 h}. This homo-coupling reaction, promoted by visible light, is catalysed by a water-soluble electron storage catalyst (ESC). The reaction mechanism, and four requirements to make it possible, are also described.

Synthesis of Dibenzyls by Nickel-Catalyzed Homocoupling of Benzyl Alcohols

Dibenzyls are essential building blocks that are widely used in organic synthesis, and they are typically prepared by the homocoupling of halides, organometallics, and ethers. Herein, we report an approach to this class of compounds using alcohols, which are more stable and readily available. The reaction proceeds via nickel-catalyzed and dimethyl oxalate assisted dynamic kinetic homocoupling of benzyl alcohols. Both primary and secondary alcohols are tolerated.

Use of Isopropyl Alcohol as a Reductant for Catalytic Dehydoxylative Dimerization of Benzylic Alcohols Utilizing Ti?O Bond Photohomolysis

Photohomolysis of Ti?O bonds is utilized in photocatalytic generation of titanium(III) species for dehydroxylative dimerization of benzylic alcohols under UV-light irradiation by using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) as a stoichiometric reductant. In this reaction, IPA works not as a single-electron donor as in the photo-redox catalyzed reactions but as an H-atom-donor. The reaction also proceeds under visible-light irradiation in the presence of thioglycolic acid as a ligand.

A regionally selective hydrogenation method for chromium-catalyzed thick cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins based on magnesium-activated ligands

The present invention relates to the field of hydrogenation, specifically to a chromium-activated complex cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins promoted by magnesium-activated ligands regionally selective hydrogenation method, which is based on the in situ reduction strategy of magnesium, with biimides as ligands, CrCl2 as catalyst precursors, to construct an efficient low-costchromium hydrogenation system, under mild conditions, to achieve unilateral cyclic hydrogenation of thick ring aromatic hydrocarbons and high-selective hydrogenation of olefins. The system of the present invention is suitable for a variety of substrates of fused cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as tetraphenyl, benzoanthracene, pentabenzo and alfalfa and the like. This provides a simple and efficient strategy and pathway for the synthesis of partially saturated thick cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds.
