Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation building on reductive coupling is a powerful method for the preparation of organic compounds. The identification of environmentally benign reductants is key for establishing an efficient reductive coupling reaction. Herein an efficient strategy enabling H2 as the sole reductant for the palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl reductive coupling reaction is described. A wide range of allylamines and allylic alcohols as well as allylic ethers proceed smoothly to deliver the C-C coupling products under 1 atm of H2. Kinetic studies suggested that the dinuclear palladium species was involved in the catalytic cycle.
Biocatalytic reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to allylic alcohols

We have developed robust in vivo and in vitro biocatalytic systems that enable reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to allylic alcohols and their saturated analogues. These compounds are prevalent scaffolds in many industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals. A substrate profiling study of a carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) investigating unexplored substrate space, such as benzo-fused (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, revealed broad substrate tolerance and provided information on the reactivity patterns of these substrates. E. coli cells expressing a heterologous CAR were employed as a multi-step hydrogenation catalyst to convert a variety of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to the corresponding saturated primary alcohols, affording up to >99percent conversion. This was supported by the broad substrate scope of E. coli endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), as well as the unexpected CC bond reducing activity of E. coli cells. In addition, a broad range of benzofused (hetero)aromatic carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding primary alcohols by the recombinant E. coli cells. An alternative one-pot in vitro two-enzyme system, consisting of CAR and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), demonstrates promiscuous carbonyl reductase activity of GDH towards a wide range of unsaturated aldehydes. Hence, coupling CAR with a GDH-driven NADP(H) recycling system provides access to a variety of (hetero)aromatic primary alcohols and allylic alcohols from the parent carboxylates, in up to >99percent conversion. To demonstrate the applicability of these systems in preparative synthesis, we performed 100 mg scale biotransformations for the preparation of indole-3-aldehyde and 3-(naphthalen-1-yl)propan-1-ol using the whole-cell system, and cinnamyl alcohol using the in vitro system, affording up to 85percent isolated yield.

A series of three α- and three β-fluorinated representatives of the family of cinnamate-derived odorants (cinnamaldehyde (1), cinnamyl alcohol (2), and ethyl cinnamate (3)) as used as fragrance ingredients is described. Olfactive evaluation shows that the
One-Pot l-Proline-Mediated Stereoselective α-C(sp2)–H Fluorination of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes through Methoxyfluorination–Elimination
Zhou, Jiadi,Jiang, Xinpeng,Jin, Can,Guo, Zhicheng,Su, Bin,Su, Weike
, p. 3631 - 3634 (2017/07/22)
A one-pot, two-step l-proline-mediated stereoselective α-C(sp2)–H fluorination of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes towards their corresponding (Z)-α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes has been developed. The first step utilises Selectfluor as a fluorinating agent in CH3NO2/MeOH forming (Z)-α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and their corresponding dimethyl acetals through methoxyfluorination-elimination. In the second step, water is added to promote the hydrolytic cleavage of the dimethyl acetals. The obtained (Z)-α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were smoothly reduced to the corresponding alcohols by using NaBH4.
