We report a strategy to develop heterogeneous single-site enantioselective catalysts based on naturally occurring amino acids and earth-abundant metals for eco-friendly asymmetric catalysis. The grafting of amino acids within the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), followed by post-synthetic metalation with iron precursor, affords highly active and enantioselective (>99 % ee for 10 examples) catalysts for hydrosilylation and hydroboration of carbonyl compounds. Impressively, the MOF-Fe catalyst displayed high turnover numbers of up to 10 000 and was recycled and reused more than 15 times without diminishing the enantioselectivity. MOF-Fe displayed much higher activity and enantioselectivity than its homogeneous control catalyst, likely due to the formation of robust single-site catalyst in the MOF through site-isolation.

Novel chiral cobalt complex a containing amine(imine)diphosphine PN(H)NP ligand and complex b containing bis(amine)diphosphine PN(H)N(H)P ligand were synthesized. The structures of two complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography and high resolution mass spectrometry. The catalytic performances of cobalt complexes a and b for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones under mild conditions were evaluated using 2-propanolisopropanol as solvent and hydrogen source after being activated by 8 equivalents of base. Complex a showed a good reactivity for reduction of ketones, with a turnover number (TON) of up to 555, and a maximum enantiomeric excess (ee) value of up to 91 %. Complex b exhibited inertness for hydrogenation of ketones. Electronic structure studies on a and b were conducted to account for the function of ligands on the catalytic performances.

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.

The synthesis of benzyl alcohols (BAs) is highly vital for their wide applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Herein, BAs was efficiently synthesized via hydroxymethylation of phenylboronic acids (PBAs) and paraformaldehyde over a simple Rh-PPh3 catalyst combined with an inorganic base (NaOH). A variety of BAs with the groups of CH3?, CH3O?, Cl?, Br?, and so on were obtained with moderate to good yields, indicating that the protocol had a good universality. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations proposed the Hayashi-type arylation mechanism involved the arylation step of PBA and Rh(OH)(PPh3)2 catalyst to form Rh(I)-bound aryl intermediates and the hydrolysis step of Rh(I)-bound aryl intermediates and HCHO to generate BA product (the rate-determining step). The present route provides a valuable and direct method for the synthesis of BAs and expands the application range of paraformaldehyde.

Binaphthyl-prolinol ligands were designed and applied in enantioselective arylation of aromatic aldehydes and sequential arylation-lactonization of methyl 2-formylbenzoate. Under optimized conditions, the reactions provided the desired diarylmethanols and 3-aryl phthalides in up to 96% yields with up to 99% ee and up to 89% yields with up to 99% ee, respectively. In particular, essentially optically pure 3-aryl phthalides (over 99% ee) were obtained in large quantities through recrystallization. This journal is
Catalytic Aldehyde and Alcohol Arylation Reactions Facilitated by a 1,5-Diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane Ligand

We report a catalytic method to access secondary alcohols by the coupling of aryl iodides. Either aldehydes or alcohols can be used as reaction partners, making the transformation reductive or redox-neutral, respectively. The reaction is mediated by a Ni catalyst and a 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane. This P2N2ligand, which has previously been unrecognized in cross-coupling and related reactions, was found to avoid deleterious aryl halide reduction pathways that dominate with more traditional phosphines and NHCs. An interrupted carbonyl-Heck type mechanism is proposed to be operative, with a key 1,2-insertion step forging the new C-C bond and forming a nickel alkoxide that may be turned over by an alcohol reductant. The same catalyst was also found to enable synthesis of ketone products from either aldehydes or alcohols, demonstrating control over the oxidation state of both the starting materials and products.

Despite the remarkable reactivity that was achieved by a series of transition-metal catalysts with a PNP type ligand, the electron-rich chiral PNP ligands have still been rarely reported because of the difficulties in synthesis and the nature of air-sensitivity. Herein, we report a novel chiral PNP ligand (Heng-PNP) with both a rigid backbone and a bulky tert-butyl group on the phospholane motif. We successfully obtained its divalent iron complex. The chiral environment of its Ir(III) complex was also discussed with quadrant analysis. This tridentate ligand was applied in iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging diaryl ketones: up to 98% ee and 500 TON are achieved. Computational study showed that the twist of conjugate aryl group in the substrate (induced by the special chiral pocket of Ir/Heng-PNP complex) leads to the energy difference in the enantiodetermining step.

Three new dimeric bis-guanidinate zinc(II) alkyl, halide, and hydride complexes [LZnEt]2 (1), [LZnI]2 (2) and [LZnH]2 (3) were prepared. Compound 3 was successfully employed for the hydrosilylation and hydroboration of a vast number of ketones. The catalytic performance of 3 in the hydroboration of acetophenone exhibits a turnover frequency, reaching up to 5800 h-1, outperforming that of reported zinc hydride catalysts. Notably, both intra- and intermolecular chemoselective hydrosilylation and hydroboration reactions have been investigated.
