Methanol is a safe, economic and easy-to-handle hydrogen source. It has rarely been used in transfer hydrogenation reactions, however. We herein report that a cyclometalated rhodium complex, rhodacycle, catalyzes highly chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with methanol as the hydrogen source. A wide variety of chalcones, styryl methyl ketones and vinyl methyl ketones, including sterically demanding ones, were reduced to the saturated ketones in refluxing methanol in a short reaction time, with no need for inter gas protection, and no reduction of the carbonyl moieties was observed. The catalysis described provides a practically easy and operationally safe method for the reduction of olefinic bonds in α,β-unsaturated ketone compounds.

A new domino Heck-isomerization/Saegusa/Heck reaction of propenol with aryl iodides has been developed for the synthesis of 3,3-diaryl propenals by triple transition-metal catalysis. Moreover, we also developed the domino Heck-isomerization/Heck-type reaction of propenol with aryl iodides for the synthesis of 1,3-diaryl propanones by double transition-metal catalysis and the mediation of secondary amine or triple transition metal catalysis and aminocatalysis.
