Bulky N-Heterocyclic-Carbene-Coordinated Palladium Catalysts for 1,2-Addition of Arylboron Compounds to Carbonyl Compounds

The synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols by the 1,2-addition of arylboronic acids or boronates to carbonyl compounds, including unactivated ketones, using novel bulky yet flexible N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-coordinated 2,6-di(pentan-3-yl)aniline (IPent)-based cyclometallated palladium complexes (CYPs) as catalysts is reported. The PhS-IPent-CYP-catalyzed reactions are efficient at low catalyst loadings (0.02–0.3 mol% Pd), and the exceptional catalytic activity for 1,2-addition is attributed to the steric bulk of the NHC ligand. These reactions can yield a wide range of functionalized benzylic alcohols that are difficult to synthesize by classical protocols using highly active organomagnesium or lithium reagents.
Monoamine Oxidase (MAO-N) Whole Cell Biocatalyzed Aromatization of 1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridines into Pyridines
Toscani, Anita,Risi, Caterina,Black, Gary W.,Brown, Nicola L.,Shaaban, Ali,Turner, Nicholas J.,Castagnolo, Daniele
, p. 8781 - 8787 (2018/09/06)
A sustainable MAO-N biocatalyzed process for the synthesis of pyridines from aliphatic tetrahydropyridines (THP) has been developed. Pyridine compounds were synthesized under mild reaction conditions and with high conversion, exploiting MAO-N whole cells as aromatizing biocatalysts. The kinetic profile of the whole cell biocatalytic transformation was finally investigated via in situ 19F NMR.
Ni-catalysed, domino synthesis of tertiary alcohols from secondary alcohols
Berini, Christophe,Navarro, Oscar
supporting information; experimental part, p. 1538 - 1540 (2012/02/16)
The use of in situ generated (NHC)-Ni catalytic species (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) allows for the synthesis, in short reaction times, of a variety of tertiary alcohols from secondary alcohols through a domino oxidation-addition protocol.
