Alcohols are versatile structural motifs of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and fine chemicals. With respect to green chemistry, the development of more sustainable and cost-efficient processes for converting ketones/aldehydes to alcohols is highly desired. Herein, a direct light-driven strategy for reducing ketones/aldehydes to alcohols using isopropanol as the reducing agent and solvent, in the presence of t-BuOLi, under an air atmosphere at room temperature is developed. This operationally simple light-promoted Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) type reduction can be used to produce various benzylic alcohol derivatives as well as applied to bioactive molecules and PEEK model compounds, demonstrating its application potential.
An Efficient Ga(OTf)3/Isopropanol Catalytic System for Direct Reduction of Benzylic Alcohols
Sai, Masahiro

This study aims to report the first gallium-catalyzed direct reduction of benzylic alcohols using isopropanol as a reductant. The reaction proceeds via gallium catalyst-assisted hydride transfer of the in situ-generated benzylic isopropyl ether. The method generates only water and acetone as byproducts and thus provides an atom-economic and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of di- and triarylmethanes, which are important substructures in various bioactive compounds and functional materials.

The amide-functionalized imidazolium salts [BocNHCH2CH 2ImR]X (R = Me, X = I, 1a; R = benzyl, X = Br, 1b; R = trityl, X = Cl, 1c) bearing increasingly bulky N-alkyl substituents were prepared in high yields by direct alkylation of the (2-imidazol-1-yl-ethyl)carbamic acid tert-butyl ester; 1c is a crystalline solid also characterized by X-ray diffraction. These salts are precursors for the synthesis of rhodium(I) complexes [Rh(NBD)X(NHC)] (NHC = 1-(2-NHBoc-ethyl)-3-R-imidazolin-2-ylidene; X = Cl, R = Me (3a), R = benzyl (3b), R = trityl (3c); X = I, R = Me (4a)). All the complexes display restricted rotation about the metal-carbene bond; however, while the rotation barriers calculated for 3a,b and 4a matched the experimental values, unexpectedly this was not true in the case of 3c, where the experimental value was equal to that obtained for compound 3b (58.6 kJ mol-1) and much smaller with respect to the calculated one (100.0 kJ mol-1). The catalytic activity of the neutral rhodium(I) complexes 3a-c in the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes with HSiMe2Ph has been investigated with PhC≡CH, TolC≡CH, nBuC≡CH, Et 3SiC≡CH, and (CPh2OH)C≡CH as substrates. The steric hindrance on the N-heterocyclic ligand and on the alkyne substrates affects conversion and selectivity: for the former the best results were achieved employing the less encumbered 3a catalyst with TolC≡CH, whereas by employing hindered alkynes such as Et3SiC≡CH or (CPh 2OH)C≡CH the hydrosilylation leads only to the formation of the β-(E)-vinylsilane and α-bis(silyl)alkene isomers. The complexes 3a,b have also been employed in the addition of arylaldehydes with phenylboronic acid, and like in the hydrosylylation case, the best results were obtained using 3a in the presence of aldehydes bearing electron-withdrawing groups, such as 4-cyanobenzaldehyde and 4-acetylbenzaldehyde as substrates.
Rhodium-catalyzed 1,2-addition of Sb-phenyl-1,5-azastibocines to functionalized aldehydes

experimental part, p. 163 - 168 (2010/04/29)
Simple and efficient addition of a phenyl group to aldehydes was accomplished by the rhodium-catalyzed reaction of Sb-phenyl-1,5-azastibocines. Because of the soft nucleophilic character of 1,5-azastibocines, arylation of functionalized aldehydes having ketone, ester, and halogen moieties can be achieved to afford aryl alcohols. The reaction can be carried out under aerobic conditions, in striking contrast to the reactions with hard nucleophiles such as organolithium and Grignard reagents.
Palladium-imidazolinium carbene-catalyzed arylation of aldehydes with arylboronic acids in water
Kuriyama, Masami,Ishiyama, Natsuki,Shimazawa, Rumiko,Onomura, Osamu
experimental part, p. 6814 - 6819 (2010/10/02)
The catalytic arylation of aldehydes with arylboronic acids in only water was found to be achieved using the palladium/thioether-imidazolinium chloride system in good to excellent yields. This catalytic process showed high tolerance for a broad range of substrates, giving a variety of carbinol derivatives with 2.0-3.0 mol % of the catalyst.

Four supported catalysts with the same tungsten loading were prepared by depositing decatungstate species W10O4-32, through wet impregnation, on the surface of γ-alumina and silica at different pH values. The prepared samples were characterized using BET measurements as well as XRD, UV-vis DR, and XP spectroscopies. Higher dispersion of W(VI) oxo-species was obtained in the silica-supported catalysts compared with the corresponding alumina-supported ones. Within the same support, the dispersion was higher when the impregnation pH is lower than the point of zero charge (pzc) of the support. The decatungstate anions were present mainly on the silica surface without any modification, whereas these underwent a partial depolymerization on their deposition on the γ-alumina surface. The extent of depolymerization was less in the sample prepared at pH above pzc. These findings were explained in terms of the mode of deposition of the W(VI) species from the solution onto the support surface. The photocatalytic activity of the aforementioned catalysts, concerning the photooxidation of 1-phenylethanol, depends on the fraction of the W10O4-32 supported species rather than on the W(VI) dispersion. Thus, extremely high conversions have been obtained over the silica-based catalysts and also over the γ-alumina-based catalyst prepared at relatively high pH. These catalysts also are very effective in the photooxidation of a series of secondary and primary benzyl alcohols, in which benzyl ketones and benzoic acids were formed as the only or major products, respectively. The easy separation of the solid catalyst from the reaction mixture, the high activity, selectivity, and stability as well as the retained activity in subsequent catalytic cycles, make these supported catalysts suitable for a small-scale synthesis. Based on product analysis and kinetic data on the heterogeneous oxidation of benzyl alcohols, we suggest that a hydrogen abstraction transfer (HAT) mechanism predominates with respect to an electron transfer (ET) one in these reactions.

The addition of arylstannanes to the carbon-heteroatom double bond in the presence of a catalytic amount of a cationic rhodium complex ([Rh(cod)(MeCN)2]BF4) was examined. The reactions of aldehydes, α-dicarbonyl compounds, and N-substituted aldimines with the arylstannanes gave corresponding alcohols, α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, and amines, respectively. An arylrhodium complex generated by the transmetalation with the arylstannane was probably the active catalytic species.
An electrochemical coupling of organic halide with aldehydes, catalytic in chromium and nickel salts. the Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction.

, p. 2073 - 2076 (2007/10/03)
[reaction: see text] Electrochemical arylation of arenecarboxaldehydes using an iron sacrificial anode in the presence of chromium and nickel catalysts afforded the corresponding arylated secondary alcohols in moderate to good yields. The chromium and nickel salts as catalysts are obtained by oxidation of a stainless steel rod during a preelectrolysis in 7% and 3%, respectively. The process was also applied to the addition of vinyl halide, allyl acetate, or alpha-chloroester to aromatic aldehydes.
