The validity of a cytochrome P450 (P450) 101 force field developed previously was tested by comparing to published results from other laboratories the predicted regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of both (R)- and (S)-norcamphor oxidation when the force field was used. Once validated, the force field was used to test the hypothesis that the magnitude of an observed intramolecular isotope effect is a function of the distance between equivalent but isotopically distinct intramolecular sites of oxidative attack. Molecular dynamics simulations and kinetic deuterium isotope effect experiments on benzylic hydroxylation were then conducted for a series of selectively deuterated isomeric xylenes and 4,4'-dimethylbiphenyl with P450 101. The molecular dynamics simulations predicted that the rank order of substrate mobility in the active site of P450 101 was o-xylene > p- xylene > dimethylbiphenyl. The observed isotope effects for the trideutero analogues were 10.6, 7.4, and 2.7, for the o-xylene, p-xylene, and 4,4'- dimethylbiphenyl, respectively. Thus, as the theoretically predicted rates of interchange between the isotopically distinct methyl groups decrease, the observed isotope effect decreases. The agreement between the theoretical predictions and experimental results provides strong support for the distance hypothesis stated above and for the potential of computational analysis to enhance our understanding of protein/small molecule interactions.

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.

Sodium aminodiboranate (NaNH 2(BH 3) 2, NaADBH) is a new member of the old borane family, which exhibits superior performance in chemoselective reduction. Experimental results show that NaADBH can rapidly reduce aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding alcohols in high efficiency and selectivity under mild conditions. There are little steric and electronic effects on this reduction.

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
Experimental and density functional theory studies on hydroxymethylation of phenylboronic acids with paraformaldehyde over a Rh-PPh3 catalyst

The synthesis of benzyl alcohols (BAs) is highly vital for their wide applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. Herein, BAs was efficiently synthesized via hydroxymethylation of phenylboronic acids (PBAs) and paraformaldehyde over a simple Rh-PPh3 catalyst combined with an inorganic base (NaOH). A variety of BAs with the groups of CH3?, CH3O?, Cl?, Br?, and so on were obtained with moderate to good yields, indicating that the protocol had a good universality. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations proposed the Hayashi-type arylation mechanism involved the arylation step of PBA and Rh(OH)(PPh3)2 catalyst to form Rh(I)-bound aryl intermediates and the hydrolysis step of Rh(I)-bound aryl intermediates and HCHO to generate BA product (the rate-determining step). The present route provides a valuable and direct method for the synthesis of BAs and expands the application range of paraformaldehyde.
Highly Modular Piano-Stool N-Heterocyclic Carbene Iron Complexes: Impact of Ligand Variation on Hydrosilylation Activity

The piano-stool configuration combined with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligation constitutes an attractive scaffold for employing iron in catalysis. Here, we have expanded this scaffold by installing a pentamethyl cyclopentadienyl (Cp*) ligand as a strong electron donor compared to the traditionally used unsubstituted cyclopentadiene (Cp). Moreover, decarboxylation is introduced as a method to prepare these iron(II) NHC complexes, which avoids the isolation of air-sensitive free carbenes. In addition to the Cp/Cp? variation, the complexes have been systematically modulated at the NHC scaffold, the NHC wingtip groups, and the ancillary ligands in order to identify critical factors that govern the catalytic activity of the iron center in the hydrosilylation of aldehydes. These modulations reveal the importance of steric tailoring and optimization of electron density for high catalytic performance. The data demonstrate a critical role of the NHC scaffold with triazolylidenes imparting consistently higher activity than imidazolylidenes and a correlation between catalytic activity and steric rather than electronic factors. Moreover, the implementation of steric bulk is strongly dependent on the nature of the NHC and severely limited by the Cp? iron precursor. The best performing catalytic systems reach turnover frequencies, TOFmax's, of up to 360 h-1 at 60 °C. Mechanistic investigations by 1H NMR and in situ IR spectroscopies indicate a catalyst activation that involves CO release and aldehyde coordination to the [Fe(Cp)(NHC)I] fragment.

The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

Deuterium labeling is an interesting process that leads to compounds of use in different fields. We describe the transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes and the selective C1 deuteration of the obtained alcohols in D2O, as the only deuterium source. Different aromatic, alkylic and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were reduced in the presence of [RuCl(p-cymene)(dmbpy)]BF4, (dmbpy=4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) as the pre-catalyst and HCO2Na/HCO2H as the hydrogen source. Moreover, furfural and glucose, were selectively reduced to the valuable alcohols, furfuryl alcohol and sorbitol. The processes were carried out in neat water or in a biphasic water/toluene system. The biphasic system allowed easy recycling, higher yields, and higher selective D incorporation (using D2O/toluene). The deuteration took place due to an efficient effective M–H/D+ exchange from D2O that allows the inversion of polarity of D+ (umpolung). DFT calculations that explain the catalytic behavior in water are also included.

In this study, a commercially available homogeneous pincer-type complex, Ru-Macho, was directly heterogenized via the Lewis acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction using dichloromethane as the cross-linker to obtain a heterogeneous, pincer-type Ru porous organometallic polymer (Ru-Macho-POMP) with a high surface area. Notably, Ru-Macho-POMP was demonstrated to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding allylic alcohols using cinnamaldehyde as a model compound. The Ru-Macho-POMP catalyst showed a high turnover frequency (TOF = 920 h-1) and a high turnover number (TON = 2750), with high chemoselectivity (99%) and recyclability during the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
