The development of inexpensive and practical catalysts for arene hydrogenations is key for future valorizations of this general feedstock. Here, we report the development of cobalt nanoparticles supported on silica as selective and general catalysts for such reactions. The specific nanoparticles were prepared by assembling cobalt-pyromellitic acid-piperazine coordination polymer on commercial silica and subsequent pyrolysis. Applying the optimal nanocatalyst, industrial bulk, substituted, and functionalized arenes as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are selectively hydrogenated to obtain cyclohexane-based compounds under industrially viable and scalable conditions. The applicability of this hydrogenation methodology is presented for the storage of H2 in liquid organic hydrogen carriers.

Herein, a simplified approach to the synthesis of medium-ring ethers through the electrophilic activation of secondary alcohols with (poly)cationic λ3-iodanes (N-HVIs) is reported. Excellent levels of selectivity are achieved for C–O bond migration over established α-elimination pathways, enabled by the unique reactivity of a novel 2-OMe-pyridine-ligated N-HVI. The resulting hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) acetals are readily derivatized with a range of nucleophiles, providing a versatile functional handle for subsequent manipulations. The utility of this methodology for late-stage natural product derivatization was also demonstrated, providing a new tool for diversity-oriented synthesis and complexity-to-diversity (CTD) efforts. Preliminary mechanistic investigations reveal a strong effect of alcohol conformation on the reactive pathway, thus providing a predictive power in the application of this approach to complex molecule synthesis.
Selective reduction of organic compounds with Al- trifluoromethanesulfonyldiisobutylalane. Comparison of its reactivity with Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane

experimental part, p. 219 - 224 (2011/11/06)
The new MPV type reagent, Al-trifluoromethanesulfonyldiisobutylalane (DIBAO3SCF3), has been prepared and its reducing characteristics in the reduction of selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups have been examined, and compared its reactivity with that of Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane (DIBAO3SCH 3) in order to understand the fluorine-substituent effect on its reactivity. In general, the reactivity of DIBAO3SCF3 appears to be much higher than that of DIBAO3SCH3, apparently due to the acidity increase by the electron-withdrawing fluorine-substituent. The reagent reduced aldehydes and ketones readily, but showed a perfect selectivity in the reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols in an absolutely 100% purity. In addition, the reagent achieved the regioselective cleavage of phenyl-or/and alkyl-substituted epoxides to the less substituted alcohols in a perfect regioselectivity. Moreover, the reagent also showed an high stereoselectivity in the reduction of substituted cycloalkanones to produce the thermodynamically more stable alcohol epimers exclusively.

Chemical Equation Presented Hollywood bowl: A highly active copper catalyst with a bowl-shaped phosphane (bsp) ligand was used in the hydrosilylation reaction of bulky ketones. The preferential reduction of a bulky ketone in the presence of an unprotected aldehyde is unprecedented.
Selective reduction of organic compounds with Al- methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane

experimental part, p. 840 - 844 (2010/10/21)
The new MPV type reagent, Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane (DIBAO 3SCH3), has been prepared and its reducing characteristics in the reduction of selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups have been examined in order to find out a new reducing system with high selectivity in organic synthesis. In general, the reagent is extremely mild, showing only reactivity toward aldehydes, ketones and epoxides. The reagent exhibits a unique reducing applicability in organic synthesis. Thus, the reagent can achieve a clean 1,2-reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols in 100% purity. In addition, the reagent shows an excellent regioselectivity in the ring-opening reaction of epoxides. Finally, DIBAO3SCH3 shows a high stereo-selectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones to produce the thermodynamically more stable epimers exclusively.

An efficient and practical arene hydrogenation procedure based on the use of heterogeneous platinum group catalysts has been developed. Rh/C is the most effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring, which can be conducted in iPrOH under neutral conditions and at ordinary to medium H 2 pressures (10 atm). A variety of arenes such as alkylbenzenes, benzoic acids, pyridines, furans, are hydrogenated to the corresponding cyclohexyl and heterocyclic compounds in good to excellet yields. The use of Ru/C, less expensive than Rh/C, affords an effective and practical method for the hydrogenation of arenes including phenols. Both catalysts can be reused several times after simple filtration without any significant loss of catalytic activity.

The effect of solvent on the rate and stereoselectivity of cyclic ketone reduction by Al-isopropoxydiisobutylalane (DIBAiOPr) has been investigated. In dichloromethane, DIBAiOPr behaves as a bulky reducing agent, approaching the carbonyl group along an equatorial trajectory to produce the axial alcohol with > 10:1 stereoselectivity. In sharp contrast, reduction in toluene gives the complementary outcome, affording the thermodynamically more stable isomer with > 99:1 stereoselectivity.
Reduction of carbonyl compounds by lanthanide metal/2-propanol: In-situ generation of samarium isopropyloxide for stereoselective Meerwein-Ponndorf- Verley reduction

The reduction of ketones and aldehydes with lanthanide metals (La, Ce, Sm, Yb) and a catalytic amount of iodine (5 mol %) in iPrOH proceeded smoothly to produce the corresponding alcohols as the major products in good yield, while in THF, methanol, and ethanol the pinacols were mainly produced. The yields of alcohols were improved most effectively by the use of Sm metal, the amount of pinacol produced thus being minimized. The actual reducing agent may be samarium isopropyloxide, which mediates the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-type hydride-transfer reaction, since the reaction can be carried out catalytically with respect to samarium. The stereoselectivities of the reductions of the 2- and 4-substituted cyclohexanones with Sm/iPrOH were higher than those achieved with SmI2/iPrOH or Sm/ H20. The asymmetric reduction of acetophenone could be achieved to give the 1-phenylethanol in up to 95% ee in the presence of the chiral ligand 7. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Amber-woody scent: Alcohols with divergent structure present common olfactory characteristics and sharp enantiomer differentiation

Only one out of the four possible trans isomers of the important perfumery alcohol Norlimbanol (1) possesses a very strong amber-woody smell, the isomer 1A with (1′ R,3S,6'S) absolute configuration. Its enantiomer 1B is almost odorless and devoid of amber-woody character, whereas the diastereoisomers 1C and 1D are considerably weaker and perceptible only by the most-sensitive persons. The same is true for a whole series of perceptual analogs of 1, including β-alkoxy alcohols. These ethers belong to two structural classes: [(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)oxy]- (see 3, 4, and 16) or {[2-(tert-butyl)cyclohexyl]oxy)alkan-2-ol derivatives (see 19 and 20; Table). A superimposition model allowing for good overlap of the respective hydroxylated side chains offers a tentative explanation for the shared perceptual characteristics of the two classes (Fig. 5). The lipophilic cyclohexane moieties present only a minimal overlap in this model, suggesting that quite larger molecules might possess the same smell. (S)-Configured β-alkoxy alcohols can conveniently be obtained on a larger scale by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketones (Scheme 9).
