We reported herein new reactivities and possible mechanistic implications of a simplest oxidant (NaH/air) uncovered on a broad range of useful transformations, including aerobic alcohol oxidations, allylic alcohol isomerizations and oxidations, cyclopropyl alcohol fragmentations, and direct aryl aldehyde oxidative amidations. These readily implementable transition-metal-free processes feature exceptional material accessibility, operational simplicity, and environmental compatibility, and add new dimensions to its synthetic utilities that are fairly robust yet had not previously been fully realized and systematically explored.
NADH MODELS-19 CYCLOPROPANE RING AS A CHEMICAL PROBE IN THE STUDY OF THE MECHANISM OF HYDROGEN TRANSFER BY 1,4-DIHYDROPYRIDINE DERIVATIVES

N-(Cyclopropylmethylene)phenylamines (1a-c), cyclopropyl 2-pyridyl ketones (5a-c) and ethyl cyclopropylmethylenepyruvate (14) have been subjected to reduction by 1,4-dihydropyridines in the presence of magnesium ions, and by tin hydrides.The reactions with 1,4-dihydropyridines do not involve cleavage of the three-membered ring in the reduction step.The observed acyclic product from 2-pyridyl 2,2-dimethylcyclopropyl ketone (5b) is a consequence of ring cleavage prior to reduction of the carbonyl function.In contrast, reduction of 1a-c and 5a-c by tin hydrides leads to products in which the cyclopropane moiety has undergone ring-opening.These findings support a hydride transfer mechanism for reductions with NADH models.
