The Synthesis of Chiral α-Aryl α-Hydroxy Carboxylic Acids via RuPHOX-Ru Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation

A ruthenocenyl phosphino-oxazoline-ruthenium complex (RuPHOX?Ru) catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-aryl keto acids has been successfully developed, affording the corresponding chiral α-aryl α-hydroxy carboxylic acids in high yields and with up to 97% ee. The reaction could be performed on a gram scale with a relatively low catalyst loading (up to 5000 S/C) and the resulting products can be transformed to several chiral building blocks, biologically active compounds and chiral drugs. (Figure presented.).

Amberlyst A-26: An efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for a one-pot oxidation-Cannizarro reaction

Amberlyst A-26 catalyses the efficient synthesis of α-hydroxy- arylacetic acids from aryl methyl ketones in the presence of SeO2. After simple separation, the catalyst does not lose its activity and can be reused without significant loss in activity for at least four cycles.
