Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 1,1-Diarylethenes

Highly enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed hydrogenation of 1,1-diarylethenes was developed by using bench-stable chiral oxazoline iminopyridine-cobalt complexes as precatalysts. A unique o-chloride effect was observed to achieve high enantioselectivity. Easy removal as well as further transformations of the chloro group make this protocol a potentially useful alternative to synthesize various chiral 1,1-diarylethanes. This process can be successfully performed under 1 atm of hydrogen at room temperature on gram scale.

Na-promoted aerobic oxidation of alcohols to ketones

Aerobic oxidation of a number of diaryl and arylalkyl carbinols to ketones was promoted by Na in THF at room temperature with up to 99% yield. This new oxidation method is also selective with good efficiency for the oxidation of benzylic secondary alcohols but not for a primary alcohol or nonbenzylic secondary alcohols. Under nitrogen, a catalytic amount of Ni or transition metal halides such as CoCl3, FeCl3, and NiCl3 in combination with Na was also found to conduct a dehydrogenation of a secondary alcohol to the corresponding ketone in high yield at room temperature.

Glycosylated Derivatives of Benzophenone, Benzhydrol, and Benzhydril as Potential Venous Antithrombotic Agents

A series of glycosylated derivatives of benzophenone, benzhydrol, and benzhydril has been synthesized and evaluated for potential activity as venous antithrombotic agents.Studies on structure-activity relationships revealed that compounds having an electr
