- Nickel-Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydroboration of Vinylarenes
-
The enantioselective hydroboration of vinylarenes catalyzed by a chiral, nonracemic nickel catalyst is presented as a facile method for generating chiral benzylic boronate esters. Various vinylarenes react with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) in the presence of MeOH as a hydride source to form chiral boronate esters in up to 92% yield with up to 94% ee. The use of anhydrous Me4NF to activate B2pin2 is crucial for ensuring fast transmetalation to achieve high enantioselectivities.

- Cinchona-Alkaloid-Derived NNP Ligand for Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

- Chitosan as a chiral ligand and organocatalyst: Preparation conditions-property-catalytic performance relationships
-
Chitosan is an abundant and renewable chirality source of natural origin. The effect of the preparation conditions by alkaline hydrolysis of chitin on the properties of chitosan was studied. The materials obtained were used as ligands in the ruthenium-catalysed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic prochiral ketones and oxidative kinetic resolution of benzylic alcohols as well as organocatalysts in the Michael addition of isobutyraldehyde to N-substituted maleimides. The degrees of deacetylation of the prepared materials were determined by 1H NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, the molecular weights by viscosity measurements, their crystallinity by WAXRD, and their morphology by SEM and TEM investigations. The materials were also characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The biopolymers which have molecular weights in a narrow (200-230 kDa) range and appropriate (80-95%) degrees of deacetylation were the most efficient ligands in the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation, whereas in the oxidative kinetic resolution the activity of the complexes and the stereoselectivity increased with the degree of deacetylation. The chirality of the chitosan was sufficient to obtain enantioselection in the Michael addition of isobutyraldehyde to maleimides in the aqueous phase. Interestingly, the biopolymer afforded the opposite enantiomer in excess compared to the monomer, d-glucosamine. In this reaction, good correlation between the degree of deacetylation and the catalytic activity was found. These results are novel steps in the application of this natural, biocompatible and biodegradable polymer in developing environmentally benign methods for the production of optically pure fine chemicals.

- Mechanochemical, Water-Assisted Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Using Ruthenium Catalyst
-
Asymmetric catalytic reactions are among the most convenient and environmentally benign methods to obtain optically pure compounds. The aim of this study was to develop a green system for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, applying chiral Ru catalyst in aqueous media and mechanochemical energy transmission. Using a ball mill we have optimized the milling parameters in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone followed by reduction of various substituted derivatives. The scope of the method was extended to carbo- and heterocyclic ketones. The scale-up of the developed system was successful, the optically enriched alcohols could be obtained in high yields. The developed mechanochemical system provides TOFs up to 168 h?1. Our present study is the first in which mechanochemically activated enantioselective transfer hydrogenations were carried out, thus, may be a useful guide for the practical synthesis of optically pure chiral secondary alcohols.

- Arene-Immobilized Ru(II)/TsDPEN Complexes: Synthesis and Applications to the Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
The Noyori-Ikariya (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN precatalyst has been anchored to amorphous silica and DAVISIL through the η6-coordinated arene ligand via a straightforward synthesis and the derived systems, (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN@silica and (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN@DAVISIL, form highly efficient catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a range of electron-rich and electron-poor aromatic ketones, giving good conversion and excellent ee's under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, catalyst generated in situ immediately prior to addition of substrate and hydrogen donor, by reaction of silica-supported [(arene)RuCl2]2 with (S,S)-TsDPEN, was as efficient as that generated from its preformed counterpart [(arene)Ru{(S,S)-TsDPEN}Cl]@silica. Gratifyingly, the initial TOFs (up to 1085 h?1) and ee's (96–97 %) obtained with these catalysts either rivalled or outperformed those previously reported for catalysts supported by either silica or polymer immobilized through one of the nitrogen atoms of TsDPEN. While the high ee's were also maintained during recycle studies, the conversion dropped steadily over the first three runs due to gradual leaching of the ruthenium.

Remarkably high activity, excellent selectivity, and broad substrate scope compatibility with advantages of catalyst usage low to 0.5 mol%, a catalytic amount of NaOH as the base, and H2O as the by-product are demonstrated in this green and step-economical protocol. Mechanistic studies indicate a plausible outer-sphere mechanism in which the alcohol dehydrogenation is the rate-determining step.

- Boron containing chiral Schiff bases: Synthesis and catalytic activity in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones
-
Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation (ATH) has been an attractive way for the reduction of ketones to chiral alcohols. A great number of novel and valuable synthetic pathways have been achived by the combination usage of organometallic and coordination chemistry for the production of important class of compounds and particularly optically active molecules. For this aim, four boron containing Schiff bases were synthesized by the reaction of 4-formylphenylboronic acid with chiral amines. The boron containing structures have been found as stable compounds due to the presence of covalent B–O bonds and thus could be handled in laboratory environment. They were characterized by 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis and they were used as catalyst in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones to the related alcohol derivatives with high conversions (up to 99%) and low enantioselectivities (up to 22% ee).

- Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ketones and Enones with Chiral Lewis Base Derived Frustrated Lewis Pairs
-
The concept of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has been widely applied in various research areas, and metal-free hydrogenation undoubtedly belongs to the most significant and successful ones. In the past decade, great efforts have been devoted to the synthesis of chiral boron Lewis acids. In a sharp contrast, chiral Lewis base derived FLPs have rarely been disclosed for the asymmetric hydrogenation. In this work, a novel type of chiral FLP was developed by simple combination of chiral oxazoline Lewis bases with achiral boron Lewis acids, thus providing a promising new direction for the development of chiral FLPs in the future. These chiral FLPs proved to be highly effective for the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, enones, and chromones, giving the corresponding products in high yields with up to 95 % ee. Mechanistic studies suggest that the hydrogen transfer to simple ketones likely proceeds in a concerted manner.

- Cationic NHC-Phosphine Iridium Complexes: Highly Active Catalysts for Base-Free Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
Novel bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine iridium complexes have been synthesized and evaluated in the hydrogenation of ketones. Reported catalytic systems require base additives and, if excluded, need elevated temperature or high pressure of hydrogen gas to achieve satisfactory reactivity. The developed catalysts showed extremely high reactivity and good enantioselectivity under base-free and mild conditions. In the presence of 1 mol % catalyst under 1 bar hydrogen pressure at room temperature, hydrogenation was complete in 30 minutes giving up to 96 % ee. Again, this high reactivity was achieved in additive-free conditions. Mechanistic experiments demonstrated that balloon pressure of hydrogen was sufficient to form the activate species by reducing and eliminating the 1,5-cyclooctadiene ligand. The pre-activated catalyst was able to hydrogenate acetophenone with 89 % conversion in 5 min.

- Highly Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of Prochiral Ketones Using Ru(II)-Chitosan Catalyst in Aqueous Media
-
Unprecedentedly high enantioselectivities are obtained in the transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones catalyzed by a Ru complex formed in situ with chitosan chiral ligand. This biocompatible, biodegradable chiral polymer obtained from the natural chitin afforded good, up to 86 % enantioselectivities, in the aqueous-phase transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives using HCOONa as hydrogen donor. Cyclic ketones were transformed in even higher, over 90 %, enantioselectivities, whereas further increase, up to 97 %, was obtained in the transfer hydrogenations of heterocyclic ketones. The chiral catalyst precursor prepared ex situ was examined by scanning electron microscopy, FT-mid- and -far-IR spectroscopy. The structure of the in situ formed catalyst was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and using various chitosan derivatives. It was shown that a Ru pre-catalyst is formed by coordination of the biopolymer to the metal by amino groups. This precursor is transformed in water insoluble Ru-hydride complex following hydrogen donor addition. The practical value of the developed method was verified by preparing over twenty chiral alcohols in good yields and optical purities. The catalyst was applied for obtaining optically pure chiral alcohols at gram scale following a single crystallization.

Rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs) stabilized with pyridine-based ligands in the ionic liquid [BMIM][BF4] (RhNPs-I to III) were synthesized from the organometallic precursor [Rh(μ-OMe)COD]2 under dihydrogen pressure. The pyridine-stabilized RhNPs showed smaller size compared to the ligand free RhNPs-V and presented higher activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol. In the case of pyridine-capped RhNPs-I, the system was reused for several runs without loss of activity and selectivity. Nitrobenzene was reduced to aniline with dihydrogen in the presence of RhNPs-I with moderate activity. When the hydrogen source was formic acid-Et3N azeotrope (transfer hydrogenation) the reaction was completed within minutes with high selectivity. Under transfer hydrogenation conditions, it was possible to apply the catalytic system RhNPs-I in multistep processes for the generation of substituted arylic amines through the reductive N-alkylation of nitrobenzene and benzaldehyde; and the synthesis of substituted pyrroles through the nitroarene reduction/Paal-Knorr condensation.

- Iridium and Rhodium Complexes Containing Enantiopure Primary Amine-Tethered N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: Synthesis, Characterization, Reactivity, and Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
The imidazolium salt [(S,S)-tBuNC3H3NCHPhCHPhNH2]PF6, (S,S)-11·HPF6 is a precursor to the enantiopure "Kaibene" ligand, tBu-Kaibene, (S,S)-11 featuring a tert-butyl group on the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ring-nitrogen atoms. It has been prepared in high yield and purity by refluxing a chiral cyclic sulfamidate with 1-tert-butylimidazole. Similarly (S,S)-12·HPF6 with a mesityl group at the imidazolium ring-nitrogen atom has been prepared in the same fashion and serves as a source of Mes-Kaibene, (S,S)-12. These bidentate Kaibene ligands feature an NHC and a primary amine separated by a chiral linker. Salts (S,S)-11·HPF6 or (S,S)-12·HPF6 react with base and AgI or CuI to give a total of four M(Kaibene)2I compounds (M = Ag or Cu). At 22 °C, the amine-functionalized imidazolium cations undergo oxidative addition to iridium(I) in [IrCl(cod)]2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) to generate iridium(III) hydride R-Kaibene compounds [IrHCl(cod)((S,S)-11)](PF6) (17) and [IrHCl(cod)((S,S)-12)](PF6) (18), respectively, each as a mixture of six configurational isomers. In contrast, the salt (S,S)-11·HPF6 reacts with [Ir(OtBu)(cod)]2 to produce a bimetallic iridium compound with (S,S)-11 as the bridging ligand. This compound contains interesting NH···Cl and NH···Ir noncovalent intramolecular interactions. Salt (S,S)-12·HPF6 reacts with silver oxide to yield [Ag2((S,S)-12)2](PF6)2 (20). Reagent 20 serves as an efficient transmetalation reagent to deliver to each rhodium in [RhCl(cod)]2 1 equiv of (S,S)-12 as a bidentate ligand to give [Rh(cod)((S,S)-12)](PF6). In the reaction between [IrCl(cod)]2 and 20, (S,S)-12 ends up coordinated in an iridium(III) hydride complex (22) as a tridentate ligand via the NHC, NH2, and a cyclometalated phenyl group. The two iridium hydride compounds, 18 and 22, are catalysts for the hydrogenation of a range of ketones (turnover number up to 499, turnover frequency up to 249 h-1, with er (enantiomeric ratio) up to 35:65 R:S).

By combining a gold-catalyzed hydration reaction with an enzymatic reduction, we present a straightforward and atom-economical chemoenzymatic method for the synthesis of secondary alcohols with excellent optical purity. Efficient cofactor recycling exploits the solvent of the metal-catalyzed step as an auxiliary substrate for the enzymatic step.

- A comparative study on asymmetric reduction of ketones using the growing and resting cells of marine-derived fungi
-
Whole-cell biocatalysts offer a highly enantioselective, minimally polluting route to optically active alcohols. Currently, most of the whole-cell catalytic performance involves resting cells rather than growing cell biotransformation, which is one-step process that benefits from the simultaneous growth and biotransformation, eliminating the need for catalysts preparation. In this paper, asymmetric reduction of 14 aromatic ketones to the corresponding enantiomerically pure alcohols was successfully conducted using the growing and resting cells of marine-derived fungi under optimized conditions. Good yields and excellent enantioselectivities were achieved with both methods. Although substrate inhibition might be a limiting factor for growing cell biotransformation, the selected strain can still completely convert 10-mM substrates into the desired products. The resting cell biotransformation showed a capacity to be recycled nine times without a significant decrease in the activity. This is the first study to perform asymmetric reduction of ketones by one-step growing cell biotransformation.

At very low catalyst loading (S/C = 10:000 in most cases; S/C = 50:000 or 100:000 in some cases), the iridium catalyst is impressively efficient at reducing ketones in good to excellent yields. The TOF value can be as high as up to 26:000 mol mol-1 h-1. A variety of functional groups are well tolerated, for example, heteroaryl, aryloxy, alkyloxy, halogen, cyano, nitro, ester, especially acidic methylene, phenol and carboxylic acid groups.

- NHTs Effect on the Enantioselectivity of Ru(II) Complex Catalysts Bearing a Chiral Bis(NHTs)-Substituted Imidazolyl-Oxazolinyl-Pyridine Ligand for Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
Pincer-type ruthenium(II)-NNN complex catalysts bearing a chiral bis(NHTs)-substituted imidazolyl-oxazolinyl-pyridine ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized by NMR, IR, elemental analysis, and X-ray single-crystal crystallographic determinations. The two NHTs groups substituted on the imidazolyl moiety of the chiral NNN ligand exhibited a remarkable effect on the enantioselectivity of the Ru(II)-NNN complexes for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones. The Ru(II)-NNN complex bearing a chiral (NHTs)2-substituted imidazolyl-(isopropyl)oxazolinyl-pyridine ligand exhibited excellent catalytic activity, reaching an enantioselectivity up to 99.9% ee for the target alcohol products.

- New functional chiral P-based ligands and application in ruthenium-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones
-
Metal-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation is a powerful and practical method for the reduction of ketones to produce the corresponding secondary alcohols, which are valuable building blocks in the pharmaceutical, perfume, and agrochemical industries. Hence, a series of novel chiral β-amino alcohols were synthesized by chiral amines with regioselective ring opening of (S)-propylene oxide or reaction with (S)-(+)-2-hydroxypropyl p-toluenesulfonate by a straightforward method. The chiral ruthenium catalytic systems generated from [Ru(arene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 complexes and chiral phosphinite ligands based on amino alcohol derivatives were employed in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones to give the corresponding optically active alcohols; (2S)-1-{[(2S)-2-[(diphenylphosphanyl)oxy]propyl][(1R)-1-phenylethyl]amino}propan-2-yldiphenylphosphinitobis[dichol-oro(η6-benzene)ruthenium(II)] acts an excellent catalyst in the reduction of α-naphthyl methyl ketone, giving the corresponding alcohol with up to 99% ee. The substituents on the backbone of the ligands were found to have a remarkable effect on both the conversion and enantioselectivity of the catalysts. Furthermore, this transfer hydrogenation is characterized by low reversibility under these conditions.

- Cooperative N-H and CH2 Skeleton Effects on the Catalytic Activities of Bimetallic Ru(II)-NNN Complexes: Experimental and Theoretical Study
-
Bimetallic ruthenium(II) complexes bearing a bis(pyrazolylimidazolylpyridine) ligand bridged by a rotatable single C-C bond or methylene linker were synthesized, structurally characterized, and exhibited diverse catalytic activities for the transfer hydrogenation (TH) reactions of ketones in refluxing isopropyl alcohol. Both the unprotected NH functionality and bridging methylene moiety demonstrated an acceleration effect on such TH reactions. Combination of the NH and CH2 skeleton functionalities into the bimetallic Ru(II)-NNN complexes remarkably enhanced the catalytic activities of the complex catalysts. Density functional theory calculations have suggested that the difference in the catalytic activities of these Ru(II)-NNN complexes is attributed to the inherent nucleophilic character of the coordinative nitrogen atoms in the bis(NNN) ligand, and the metal-metal interaction resulted from the number of net natural bond orbital charges on these nitrogen atoms.

- Dimeric Ruthenium(II)-NNN Complex Catalysts Bearing a Pyrazolyl-Pyridylamino-Pyridine Ligand for Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones and Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Alcohols
-
Dimeric pincer-type ruthenium(II)-NNN complexes bearing an unsymmetrical pyrazolyl-pyridylamino-pyridine ligand were prepared and characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, and X-ray single crystal structural determination. These complexes exhibited very high catalytic activity for both transfer hydrogenation of ketones and acceptorless dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols, achieving TOF values up to 1.9 × 106 h-1 in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones. The high catalytic activity of the Ru(II) complex catalysts is attributed to the presence of the unprotected NH functionality in the ligand and hemilabile unsymmetrical coordination environment around the central metal atoms in the complex.

- Triazolylidene Iridium Complexes for Highly Efficient and Versatile Transfer Hydrogenation of C=O, C=N, and C=C Bonds and for Acceptorless Alcohol Oxidation
-
A set of iridium(I) and iridium(III) complexes is reported with triazolylidene ligands that contain pendant benzoxazole, thiazole, and methyl ether groups as potentially chelating donor sites. The bonding mode of these groups was identified by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst precursors in transfer hydrogenation and in acceptorless alcohol oxidation. High-valent iridium(III) complexes were identified as the most active precursors for the oxidative alcohol dehydrogenation, while a low-valent iridium(I) complex with a methyl ether functionality was most active in reductive transfer hydrogenation. This catalyst precursor is highly versatile and efficiently hydrogenates ketones, aldehydes, imines, allylic alcohols, and most notably also unpolarized olefins, a notoriously difficult substrate for transfer hydrogenation. Turnover frequencies up to 260 h-1 were recorded for olefin hydrogenation, whereas hydrogen transfer to ketones and aldehydes reached maximum turnover frequencies greater than 2000 h-1. Mechanistic investigations using a combination of isotope labeling experiments, kinetic isotope effect measurements, and Hammett parameter correlations indicate that the turnover-limiting step is hydride transfer from the metal to the substrate in transfer hydrogenation, while in alcohol dehydrogenation, the limiting step is substrate coordination to the metal center.

- Highly Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of Polar Double Bonds by Macrocyclic Iron(II)/(NH)2P2 Catalysts
-
We describe herein a new protocol for the synthesis of 2,2′-((1S,1′S)-ethane-1,2-diylbis(phenylphosphanediyl))dibenzaldehyde ((SP,SP)-5), which is the key intermediate in the synthesis of macrocyclic iron(II)/(NH)2P2 catalysts for the highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of polar double bonds. The dialdehyde (SP,SP)-5 was obtained as a single diastereoisomer and enantiomer from an optically pure H-phosphinate in 33% yield over five steps. It was further converted to afford multigram quantities of the macrocyclic iron(II)/(NH)2P2 complexes, which were tested in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aryl alkyl ketones and imines in 2-propanol on a 100 mmol scale. Ten substrates, including challenging ones such as tert-butyl phenyl ketone and industrially relevant molecules such as 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)acetophenone, were reduced in high yield (89.0-99.7%), excellent enantioselectivity (95.8-99.4% ee), and with low catalyst loadings (S/C up to 10 000/1).

- Third-Generation Amino Acid Furanoside-Based Ligands from d-Mannose for the Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones: Catalysts with an Exceptionally Wide Substrate Scope
-
A modular ligand library of α-amino acid hydroxyamides and thioamides was prepared from 10 different N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-protected α-amino acids and three different amino alcohols derived from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-d-mannofuranoside. The ligand library was evaluated in the half-sandwich ruthenium- and rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a wide array of ketone substrates, including simple as well as sterically demanding aryl alkyl ketones, aryl fluoroalkyl ketones, heteroaromatic alkyl ketones, aliphatic, conjugated and propargylic ketones. Under the optimized reaction conditions, secondary alcohols were obtained in high yields and in enantioselectivities up to >99%. The choice of ligand/catalyst allowed for the generation of both enantiomers of the secondary alcohols, where the ruthenium-hydroxyamide and the rhodium-thioamide catalysts act complementarily towards each other. The catalytic systems were also evaluated in the tandem isomerization/asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of racemic allylic alcohols to yield enantiomerically enriched saturated secondary alcohols in up to 98% ee. Furthermore, the catalytic tandem α-alkylation/asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenones and 3-acetylpyridine with primary alcohols as alkylating and reducing agents was studied. Secondary alcohols containing an elongated alkyl chain were obtained in up to 92% ee. (Figure presented.).

- I86A/C295A mutant secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus has broadened substrate specificity for aryl ketones
-
Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (SADH) reduces aliphatic ketones according to Prelog's Rule, with binding pockets for small and large substituents. It was shown previously that the I86A mutant SADH reduces acetophenone, which is not a substrate of wild-type SADH, to give the anti-Prelog R-product (Musa, M. M.; Lott, N.; Laivenieks, M.; Watanabe, L.; Vieille, C.; Phillips, R. S. ChemCatChem 2009, 1, 89–93.). However, I86A SADH did not reduce aryl ketones with substituents larger than fluorine. We have now expanded the small pocket of the active site of I86A SADH by mutation of Cys-295 to alanine to allow reaction of substituted acetophenones. As predicted, the double mutant I86A/C295A SADH has broadened substrate specificity for meta-substituted, but not para-substituted, acetophenones. However, the increase of the substrate specificity of I86A/C295A SADH is accompanied by a decrease in the kcat/Km values of acetophenones, possibly due to the substrates fitting loosely inside the more open active site. Nevertheless, I86A/C295A SADH gives high conversions and very high enantiomeric excess of the anti-Prelog R-alcohols from the tested substrates.

- Iron(II)/(NH)2P2 Macrocycles: Modular, Highly Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation Catalysts
-
A generalized protocol for the synthesis of chiral (NH)2P2 macrocycles allows changing the linker between the phosphines and gives access to a family of such ligands, as demonstrated for the propane-1,3-diyl analogue. The corresponding complexes based on earth-abundant and nontoxic iron were applied as catalysts in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of polar double bonds. Thanks to the ligand modularity and to the use of tunable isonitriles as ancillary ligands, the catalyst system can be individually optimized for each substrate to give high enantioselectivity (up to 99.9% conversion and 99.6% ee, TOF up to >3950 h-1) for a broad scope of 26 substrates.

- Enzymatic reduction of acetophenone derivatives with a benzil reductase from Pichia glucozyma (KRED1-Pglu): electronic and steric effects on activity and enantioselectivity
-
A recombinant ketoreductase from Pichia glucozyma (KRED1-Pglu) was used for the enantioselective reduction of various mono-substituted acetophenones. Reaction rates of meta- and para-derivatives were consistent with the electronic effects described by σ-Hammett coefficients; on the other hand, enantioselectivity was determined by an opposite orientation of the substrate in the binding pocket. Reduction of ortho-derivatives occurred only with substrates bearing substituents with low steric impact (i.e., F and CN). Reactivity was controlled by stereoelectronic features (C=O length and charge, shape of LUMO frontier molecular orbitals), which can be theoretically calculated.

- Diruthenium(II)-NNN pincer complex catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones
-
Dinuclear ruthenium(ii)-NNN pincer complexes bearing a π linker-supported bis(pyrazolyl-imidazolyl-pyridine) ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized, and they exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones in refluxing isopropanol, reaching TOF values up to 1.3 × 106 h-1. Compared with the corresponding mononuclear Ru(ii)-NNN pincer complexes, the bimetallic complexes could be applied at concentrations as low as 0.03 mol% Ru and demonstrated remarkably enhanced catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation reactions of ketones. The high catalytic activity of the diruthenium(ii) complexes is attributed to the excellent stability and possible cooperativity of the two coordinated Ru(ii) metal centers through the π linker. The present synthetic methodology has established an applicable strategy to construct highly active bimetallic NNN pincer complex catalysts.
