Asymmetric aerobic oxidation of a range of meso- and prochiral diols with chiral bifunctional Ir catalysts is described. A high level of chiral discrimination ability of Cpa? -Ir complexes derived from (S,S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine was successfully demonstrated by desymmetrization of secondary benzylic diols such as cis-indan-1,3-diol and cis-1,4-diphenylbutane-1,4-diol, providing the corresponding (R)-hydroxyl ketones with excellent chemo- and enantioselectivities. Enantiotopic group discrimination in oxidation of symmetrical primary 1,4- and 1,5-diols gave rise to chiral lactones with moderate ees under similar aerobic conditions.

The hydrogenative conversions of the biobased platform molecules 4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone and cyclopentane-1,3-dione to their corresponding 1,3-diols are established using a pre-activated Kn?lker-type iron catalyst. The catalyst exhibits a high selectivity for ketone reduction, and does not induce dehydration. Moreover, by using different substituents of the ligand, thecis-transratio of the products can be affected substantially. A decent compatibility of this catalytic system with various structurally related substrates is demonstrated.
Facile reduction of aromatic aldehydes, ketones, diketones and oxo aldehydes to alcohols by an aqueous TiCl3/NH3 system: Selectivity and scope

A simple and rapid procedure for the almost quantitative reduction of aromatic aldehydes, ketones, diketones and oxo aldehydes to alcohols by use of TiCl3/NH3 in aqueous methanol solution is reported. The reducing system distinguishes between different classes of aldehydes and/or ketones, and many functionalities that usually do not survive under reducing conditions are tolerated well. The concept of reversal of chemoselectivity has also been developed. A mechanism based on two sequential one-electron transfers from TiIII to the carbonyl carbon atom is proposed, the second SET becoming operative only in the presence of ammonium ion (either added or formed in situ).
