Heterogeneous Hydroxyl-Directed Hydrogenation: Control of Diastereoselectivity through Bimetallic Surface Composition
Shumski, Alexander J.,Swann, William A.,Escorcia, Nicole J.,Li, Christina W.

Directed hydrogenation, in which product selectivity is dictated by the binding of an ancillary directing group on the substrate to the catalyst, is typically catalyzed by homogeneous Rh and Ir complexes. No heterogeneous catalyst has been able to achieve equivalently high directivity due to a lack of control over substrate binding orientation at the catalyst surface. In this work, we demonstrate that Pd-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles with both Pd and Cu atoms distributed across the surface are capable of high conversion and diastereoselectivity in the hydroxyl-directed hydrogenation reaction of terpinen-4-ol. We postulate that the OH directing group adsorbs to the more oxophilic Cu atom while the olefin and hydrogen bind to adjacent Pd atoms, thus enabling selective delivery of hydrogen to the olefin from the same face as the directing group with a 16:1 diastereomeric ratio.

A 1,2-regioselective reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones to their corresponding allylic alcohols is accomplished with NaBH4 in the presence of acidic activated alumina rehydrated to the Brockmann II grade by adding 3 % w/w water. The substrate scope includes eight ketones reduced in high regio- and diastereoselectivity to their corresponding allylic alcohols. This is the first example of the strategy of systematically tuning the surface chemistry of alumina via partial rehydration in order to modulate selectivity in a reaction. Alumina is an appealing alternative to the common Luche reduction additive, CeCl3, from the perspective of cost and procedural simplicity.

Paragraph 0019; 0026-0030, (2017/07/21)
The invention discloses a synthesis method of the cyclospasmol drug intermediate cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol. The method includes the steps that 1,5,5-trimethyl cyclohexene-3-ketone is added into a 2-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid solution, the temperature is decreased, and stirring is carried out; lithium powder is slowly added, a reaction is carried out after lithium powder is added, then, the temperature is increased, and the reaction continues; vacuum concentration is carried out, concentrated liquor is added into a potassium bromide solution, then, an oxalic acid solution is added, finally, a dimethylamine solution is subjected to extraction, washing, dehydrant dehydration, reduced pressure distillation and recrystallization, and the crystal cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol is obtained. Compared with a traditional synthesis method, by means of the method, the reaction speed is greatly increased; a new synthesis route is provided, and a good foundation is laid for further increasing the reaction yield.
The Stereoselective Reductions of Ketones to the Most Thermodynamically Stable Alcohols Using Lithium and Hydrated Salts of Common Transition Metals

, p. 8134 - 8141 (2015/09/02)
A simple method is presented for the highly stereoselective reductions of ketones to the most thermodynamically stable alcohols. In this procedure, the ketone is treated with lithium dispersion and either FeCl2·4H2O or CuCl2·2H2O in THF at room temperature. This protocol is applied to a large number and variety of ketones and is both more convenient and efficient than those commonly reported for the diastereoselective reduction of five- and six-membered cyclic ketones.
Selective reduction of organic compounds with Al- trifluoromethanesulfonyldiisobutylalane. Comparison of its reactivity with Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane

experimental part, p. 219 - 224 (2011/11/06)
The new MPV type reagent, Al-trifluoromethanesulfonyldiisobutylalane (DIBAO3SCF3), has been prepared and its reducing characteristics in the reduction of selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups have been examined, and compared its reactivity with that of Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane (DIBAO3SCH 3) in order to understand the fluorine-substituent effect on its reactivity. In general, the reactivity of DIBAO3SCF3 appears to be much higher than that of DIBAO3SCH3, apparently due to the acidity increase by the electron-withdrawing fluorine-substituent. The reagent reduced aldehydes and ketones readily, but showed a perfect selectivity in the reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols in an absolutely 100% purity. In addition, the reagent achieved the regioselective cleavage of phenyl-or/and alkyl-substituted epoxides to the less substituted alcohols in a perfect regioselectivity. Moreover, the reagent also showed an high stereoselectivity in the reduction of substituted cycloalkanones to produce the thermodynamically more stable alcohol epimers exclusively.
Selective reduction of organic compounds with Al- methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane

experimental part, p. 840 - 844 (2010/10/21)
The new MPV type reagent, Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane (DIBAO 3SCH3), has been prepared and its reducing characteristics in the reduction of selected organic compounds containing representative functional groups have been examined in order to find out a new reducing system with high selectivity in organic synthesis. In general, the reagent is extremely mild, showing only reactivity toward aldehydes, ketones and epoxides. The reagent exhibits a unique reducing applicability in organic synthesis. Thus, the reagent can achieve a clean 1,2-reduction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones to produce the corresponding allylic alcohols in 100% purity. In addition, the reagent shows an excellent regioselectivity in the ring-opening reaction of epoxides. Finally, DIBAO3SCH3 shows a high stereo-selectivity in the reduction of cyclic ketones to produce the thermodynamically more stable epimers exclusively.
New active-iron based reducing system for carbonyl compounds and imines. Stereoselective reduction of cyclic ketones

, p. 2812 - 2819 (2007/10/03)
The reaction of different carbonyl compounds and imines with a mixture of iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate, an excess of lithium powder, and a catalytic amount of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 5 mol%) in THF at room temperature, led to the formation of the corresponding alcohols and amines, respectively. The process was also applied to the transformation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds into the corresponding saturated alcohols. The new reducing system exhibited good to excellent diastereoselectivity toward the reduction of different monocyclic and polycyclic ketones.
Al-isopropoxydiisobutylalane: A study of the effect of solvent on the rate and stereoselectivity of cyclic ketone reduction

The effect of solvent on the rate and stereoselectivity of cyclic ketone reduction by Al-isopropoxydiisobutylalane (DIBAiOPr) has been investigated. In dichloromethane, DIBAiOPr behaves as a bulky reducing agent, approaching the carbonyl group along an equatorial trajectory to produce the axial alcohol with > 10:1 stereoselectivity. In sharp contrast, reduction in toluene gives the complementary outcome, affording the thermodynamically more stable isomer with > 99:1 stereoselectivity.
Directive effect of the 2- and 3-axial hydroxy groups that appeared in the complex metal hydride reduction of cyclohexanones
Senda,Kikuchi,Inui,Itoh
, p. 237 - 242 (2007/10/03)
A directive effect of the 2-axial hydroxy group appeared in the LiAlH4, NaBH4, and Zn(BH4)2 reduction of cyclohexanone, while the 3-axial hydroxy group exhibited a steric hindrance. The distance between the carbonyl carbon and the hydroxy group interacting with the hydride reagent was responsible for such a difference. In the reduction of Na[B(OAc)3H], the 2- and 3-axial hydroxycyclohexanones gave the products obtained by the hydride approaching from the side of the hydroxy group. The key point of the stereoselectivity was the formation of Na[B(OAc)2(OR)H, which was more reactive than the parent hydride, by exchanging the acetate ion with the alkoxide. Although the reduction was performed under the condition that the hydride/substrate ratio was 1, the conversion of the hydroxy ketone to an alcohol were 4, NaBH4, and Zn(BH4)2 reductions in tetrahydrofuran. The conversions in the NaBH4 reduction in ethanol were > 90%.
