A synthetic modular methodology allows the preparation of catalytic materials based on magnetic nanoparticles with iridium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. Imidazolium salts containing a ketone/aldehyde as a pendant functional group are the key species prepared. The condensation reaction of the Cp?IrNHC-CHO compound with magnetic nanoparticles containing amine groups on the surface yields the covalent anchoring of the iridium complex to the surface of the magnetite. The catalytic properties have been evaluated in transfer hydrogenation. The iridium complexes and the material are active in the reduction of ketones using isopropanol as the solvent and hydrogen donor. The catalytic results reveal that the catalytic activity of the material and the molecular complex are equivalent. We have not observed any change in activity due to the support. The recyclability properties of the magnetic material have been evaluated. The results show that the catalyst activity is maintained for two runs. This work describes a simple methodology for anchoring molecular complexes on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles.

Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

Asymmetric catalytic reactions are among the most convenient and environmentally benign methods to obtain optically pure compounds. The aim of this study was to develop a green system for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, applying chiral Ru catalyst in aqueous media and mechanochemical energy transmission. Using a ball mill we have optimized the milling parameters in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone followed by reduction of various substituted derivatives. The scope of the method was extended to carbo- and heterocyclic ketones. The scale-up of the developed system was successful, the optically enriched alcohols could be obtained in high yields. The developed mechanochemical system provides TOFs up to 168 h?1. Our present study is the first in which mechanochemically activated enantioselective transfer hydrogenations were carried out, thus, may be a useful guide for the practical synthesis of optically pure chiral secondary alcohols.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of ketones catalyzed by manganese complex as well as chiral PxNy-type ligand under mild conditions was investigated. Using 2-propanol as hydrogen source, various ketones could be enantioselectively hydrogenated by combining cheap, readily available [MnBr(CO)5] with chiral, 22-membered macrocyclic ligand (R,R,R',R')-CyP2N4 (L5) with 2 mol% of catalyst loading, affording highly valuable chiral alcohols with up to 95% ee.

Paragraph 0125-0130, (2021/08/11)
The invention discloses a clamp-type molybdenum complex, a preparation method, a corresponding catalyst composition and application. The method comprises the steps: obtaining 9 molybdenum complexes with different structures through coordination reaction of 2-(substituent ethyl)-(5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydroquinolyl) amine and a corresponding carbonyl molybdenum metal precursor; and catalyzing a ketone compound transfer hydrogenation reaction through a molybdenum complex to generate 40 alcohol compounds. The preparation method of the molybdenum complex is simple, high in yield and good in stability. For a transfer hydrogenation reaction of ketone, the molybdenum-based catalytic system has high catalytic activity and small molybdenum loading capacity, is used for production of aromatic and aliphatic alcohols, and has the advantages of simple method, small environmental pollution and high yield.
Ruthenium-p-cymene Complex Side-Wall Covalently Bonded to Carbon Nanotubes as Efficient Hybrid Transfer Hydrogenation Catalyst

, p. 5156 - 5165 (2021/11/05)
A half-sandwich ruthenium-p-cymene organometallic complex has been immobilized at Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) sidewalls through a stepwise covalent chemistry protocol. The introduction of amino groups by means of diazonium-chemistry protocols leads the grafting at the outer walls of the nanotubes. This hybrid material is active in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones to yield alcohols, using as hydrogen source 2-propanol. SWNT?NH2?Ru presents a broad scope, performing the reaction under aerobic conditions and can be recycled over 9 consecutive reaction runs without losing activity or leaching ruthenium out. Comparison of the activity with related homogeneous catalysts reveals an improved performance due to the covalent bond between the metal and the material, achieving turnover frequencies as high as 192774 h?1.

Controlling the selectivity of a chemical reaction with external stimuli is common in thermal processes, but rare in visible-light photocatalysis. Here we show that the redox potential of a carbon nitride photocatalyst (CN-OA-m) can be tuned by changing the irradiation wavelength to generate electron holes with different oxidation potentials. This tuning was the key to realizing photo-chemo-enzymatic cascades that give either the (S)- or the (R)-enantiomer of phenylethanol. In combination with an unspecific peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita, green light irradiation of CN-OA-m led to the enantioselective hydroxylation of ethylbenzene to (R)-1-phenylethanol (99 % ee). In contrast, blue light irradiation triggered the photocatalytic oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone, which in turn was enantioselectively reduced with an alcohol dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus ruber to form (S)-1-phenylethanol (93 % ee).
Dynamic Kinetic Resolution of Alcohols by Enantioselective Silylation Enabled by Two Orthogonal Transition-Metal Catalysts

A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

In this study, free-radical polymerisation inside MCM-41 mesopores was examined to expose a construction route for a temperature-responsive switchable polymer-silica nanohybrid material with well-defined porosity. Herein, we introduced a vinyl monomer (N-isopropyl acrylamide), a cross-linker, and an AIBN initiator into the palladium nanoparticle incorporated MCM-41 pore channels using the wet-impregnation method followed byin situradical polymerisation. The structural properties of the synthesised PNIPAM-PdNP-MCM-41 catalyst were analysed by various sophisticated analytical techniques. The temperature switchable nanohybrid catalyst was used to reduce carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols. The catalyst showed high catalytic efficiency and robustness in an aqueous medium at 25 °C. Moreover, the system's polymer layer remarkably boosted catalytic selectivity and activity for carbonyl compound reduction as compared to other controlled catalysts. The suggested switchable system can be employed as a temperature-controllable heterogeneous catalyst and highlights a substitute technique to counter the methodical insufficiency in switchable supported molecular catalytic system production.
