Catalytic transformation of oxygenated compounds is challenging in f-element chemistry due to the high oxophilicity of the f-block metals. We report here the first Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction of carbonyl substrates with uranium-based catalysts, in particular from a series of uranyl(VI) compounds where [UO2(OTf)2] (1) displays the greatest efficiency (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate). [UO2(OTf)2] reduces a series of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and ketones into their corresponding alcohols with moderate to excellent yields, using iPrOH as a solvent and a reductant. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions (80 °C) with an optimized catalytic charge of 2.3 mol % and KOiPr as a cocatalyst. The reduction of aldehydes (1-10 h) is faster than that of ketones (>15 h). NMR investigations clearly evidence the formation of hemiacetal intermediates with aldehydes, while they are not formed with ketones.

Arylation of carbonyls, one of the most common approaches toward alcohols, has received tremendous attention, as alcohols are important feedstocks and building blocks in organic synthesis. Despite great progress, there is still a great gap to develop an ideal arylation method featuring mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, and readily available starting materials. We now show that electrochemical arylation can fill the gap. By taking advantage of synthetic electrochemistry, commercially available aldehydes (ketones) and benzylic alcohols can be readily arylated to provide a general and scalable access to structurally diverse alcohols (97 examples, >10 gram-scale). More importantly, convergent paired electrolysis, the ideal but challenging electrochemical technology, was employed to transform low-value alcohols into more useful alcohols. Detailed mechanism study suggests that two plausible pathways are involved in the redox neutral α-arylation of benzylic alcohols.

AgSbF6 was developed as an effective catalyst for the hydroboration of various unsaturated functionalities (nitriles, alkenes, and aldehydes). This atom-economic chemoselective protocol works effectively under low catalyst loading, base- A nd solvent-free moderate conditions. Importantly, this process shows excellent functional group tolerance and compatibility with structurally and electronically diverse substrates (>50 examples). Mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway. Further, the obtained N,N-diborylamines were showcased to be useful precursors for amide synthesis.

The CeO2-nanoparticle catalysed hydroboration of carbonyl compounds with HBpin (pin = OCMe2CMe2O) is reported to afford the corresponding borate esters in excellent yield. A series of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and ketones having synthetically important functional groups were well-Tolerated under mild reaction conditions. Further, chemoselective hydroboration of aldehydes over other reducible functional groups such as ketone, nitrile, hydroxide, alkene, alkyne, amide, ester, nitro, and halides was achieved. Importantly the catalyst can be recycled up to ten runs with slight loss in activity. This journal is
Efficient Solvent-Free Hydrosilylation of Aldehydes and Ketones Catalyzed by Fe2(CO)9/C6H4-o-(NCH2PPh2)2BH

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.
Hf-MOF catalyzed Meerwein?Ponndorf?Verley (MPV) reduction reaction: Insight into reaction mechanism

Hf-MOF-808 exhibits excellent activity and specific selectivity on the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds via a hydrogen transfer strategy. Its superior activity than other Hf-MOFs is attributed to its poor crystallinity, defects and large specific surface area, thereby containing more Lewis acid-base sites which promote this reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) computations are performed to explore the catalytic mechanism. The results indicate that alcohol and ketone fill the defects of Hf-MOF to form a six-membered ring transition state (TS) complex, in which Hf as the center of Lewis stearic acid coordinates with the oxygen of the substrate molecule, thus effectively promoting hydrogen transfer process. Other reactive groups, such as –NO2, C = C, -CN, of inadequate hardness or large steric hindrance are difficult to coordinate with Hf, thus weakening their catalytic effect, which explains the specific selectivity Hf-MOF-808 for reducing the carbonyl group.

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.

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.
