An efficient method for the deprotection of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS) ethers using 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH) as catalyst and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent has been established. This method is useful for many kinds of compounds,

An efficient solvent-free catalyst system for hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones was developed based on iron pre-catalyst Fe2(CO)9/C6H4-o-(NCH2PPh2)2BH. The reactions were tolerant of many functional groups and the corresponding alcohols were isolated in good to excellent yields following basic hydrolysis of the reaction products. The reaction is likely catalyzed by an in situ generated pincer ligated iron hydride complex. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Hydroboration reactions of carboxylic acids using sodium aminodiboranate (NaNH2[BH3]2, NaADBH) to form primary alcohols were systematically investigated, and the reduction mechanism was elucidated experimentally and computationally. The transfer of hydride ions from B atoms to C atoms, the key step in the mechanism, was theoretically illustrated and supported by experimental results. The intermediates of NH2B2H5, PhCH= CHCOOBH2NH2BH3-, PhCH= CHCH2OBO, and the byproducts of BH4-, NH2BH2, and NH2BH3- were identified and characterized by 11B and 1H NMR. The reducing capacity of NaADBH was found between that of NaBH4 and LiAlH4. We have thus found that NaADBH is a promising reducing agent for hydroboration because of its stability and easy handling. These reactions exhibit excellent yields and good selectivity, therefore providing alternative synthetic approaches for the conversion of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols with a wide range of functional group tolerance.

The serine 244 to aspartate (S244D) variant of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP199A4 was used to expand its substrate range beyond benzoic acids. Substrates, in which the carboxylate group of the benzoic acid moiety is replaced were oxidised with high activity by the S244D mutant (product formation rates >60 nmol.(nmol-CYP)?1.min?1) and with total turnover numbers of up to 20,000. Ethyl α-hydroxylation was more rapid than methyl oxidation, styrene epoxidation and S-oxidation. The S244D mutant catalysed the ethyl hydroxylation, epoxidation and sulfoxidation reactions with an excess of one stereoisomer (in some instances up to >98 %). The crystal structure of 4-methoxybenzoic acid-bound CYP199A4 S244D showed that the active site architecture and the substrate orientation were similar to that of the WT enzyme. Overall, this work demonstrates that CYP199A4 can catalyse the stereoselective hydroxylation, epoxidation or sulfoxidation of substituted benzene substrates under mild conditions resulting in more sustainable transformations using this heme monooxygenase enzyme.

Employing a bifunctional catalyst based on a copper(I)/NHC complex and a guanidine organocatalyst, catalytic ester reductions to alcohols with H2 as terminal reducing agent are facilitated. The approach taken here enables the simultaneous activation of esters through hydrogen bonding and formation of nucleophilic copper(I) hydrides from H2, resulting in a catalytic hydride transfer to esters. The reduction step is further facilitated by a proton shuttle mediated by the guanidinium subunit. This bifunctional approach to ester reductions for the first time shifts the reactivity of generally considered "soft"copper(I) hydrides to previously unreactive "hard"ester electrophiles and paves the way for a replacement of stoichiometric reducing agents by a catalyst and H2.

The oxytetracycline fermentation broth residue (OFR) is an abundant solid waste in the fermentation industry, which is hazardous but tricky to treat. The resource utilization of the waste OFR is still challenging. In this study, a novel route of using OFR was proposed that OFR was used as the organic ligands to construct a new hafnium based catalyst (Hf-OFR) for Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reactions of biomass-derived platforms. The acidic groups in OFR were used to coordinate with Hf4+, and the carbon skeleton structures in OFR were used to form the spatial network structures of the Hf-OFR catalyst. The results showed that the synthesized Hf-OFR catalyst could catalyze the MPV reduction of various carbonyl compounds under relatively mild reaction conditions, with high conversions and yields. Besides, the Hf-OFR catalyst could be recycled at least 5 times with excellent stability in activity and structures. The prepared Hf-OFR catalyst possesses the advantages of high efficiency, a simple preparation process, and low cost in ligands. The proposed strategy of constructing catalysts using OFR may provide new routes for both valuable utilization of the OFR solid waste in the fermentation industry and the construction of efficient catalysts for biomass conversion.

A Diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex has been applied in chemoselective hydrogen transfer reductions. This bifunctional iron complex demonstrated a broad applicability in mild conditions in various reactions, such as reduction of aldehydes over ketones, reductive alkylation of various functionalized amines with functionalized aldehydes and reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones into the corresponding saturated ketones. A broad range of functionalized substrates has been isolated in excellent yields with this practical procedure.
Ambient-pressure highly active hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes catalyzed by a metal-ligand bifunctional iridium catalyst under base-free conditions in water

A green, efficient, and high active catalytic system for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes to produce corresponding alcohols under atmospheric-pressure H2 gas and ambient temperature conditions was developed by a water-soluble metal–ligand bifunctional catalyst [Cp*Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(OH)][Na] in water without addition of a base. The catalyst exhibited high activity for the hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes. Furthermore, it was worth noting that many readily reducible or labile functional groups in the same molecule, such as cyan, nitro, and ester groups, remained unchanged. Interestingly, the unsaturated aldehydes can be also selectively hydrogenated to give corresponding unsaturated alcohols with remaining C=C bond in good yields. In addition, this reaction could be extended to gram levels and has a large potential of wide application in future industrial.

A series of bis(phosphinite) (POCOP) pincer ligated nickel complexes, [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiX (X = SH, 1; SCH2Ph, 2; SPh, 3; NCS, 4; N3, 5), were used to catalyse the hydrosilylation of aldehydes. It was found that both complexes 1 and 2 are active in catalysing the hydrosilylation of aldehydes with phenylsilane and complex 1 is comparatively more active. The expected alcohols were isolated in good to excellent yields after basic hydrolysis of the resultant hydrosilylation products. However, no reaction was observed when complex 3 or 4 or 5 was used as the catalyst. The results are consistent with complexes 1 and 2 serving as catalyst precursors, which generate the corresponding nickel hydride complex [2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3]NiH in situ, and the nickel hydride complex is the active species that catalyses this hydrosilylation process. The in situ generation of the nickel hydride species was supported by both experimental results and DFT calculation.
