A series of amphiphilic ligands were designed and synthesized. The rhodium complexes with the ligands were applied to the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of broad range of long-chained aliphatic ketoesters in neat water. Quantitative conversion and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) was observed for α-, β-, γ-, δ- and ε-ketoesters as well as for α- and β-acyloxyketone using chiral surfactant-type catalyst 2. The CH/π interaction and the strong hydrophobic interaction of long aliphatic chains between the catalyst and the substrate in the metallomicelle core played a key role in the catalytic transition state. Synergistic effects between the metal-catalyzed site and the hydrophobic microenvironment of the core in the micelle contributed to high stereoselectivity. (Chemical Equation Presented).

Acid-catalyzed conversions of levoglucosan have been investigated in mono-alcohols, poly-alcohols, water, chloroform, toluene, acetone, N,N-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide and some mixed solvents, aiming to mediate conversion of sugars into platform chemicals with solvents. The mono-alcohols can stabilize soluble polymers and thus suppress formation of insoluble polymers. Water does not have such an effect, leading to lower yields of levulinic acid. Chloroform cannot effectively dissolve levoglucosan, leading to dissolving of levoglucosan in the catalyst and the consequent rapid polymerization. Acetone reacted with sugars, forming substantial amounts of polymer. N,N-Dimethyl formamide poisoned the acid resin catalyst, leading to negligible conversion of levoglucosan. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mainly catalyzed the conversion of levoglucosan into 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF), 2,5-furandicarboxaldehyde, and the sulfur ether of HMF. DMSO has a low ability to transfer protons, which helps to avoid further contact of HMF with catalytic sites and stabilizes HMF.
