- The temperature dependence of the diastereoselective reduction of 2-t-butylcyclohexanone with diisobutyl-aluminium-2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenoxide
-
The diastereoselectivity of the reduction of 2-t-butylcyclohexanone (1) with diisobutylaluminium-2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenoxide (2) is investigated as a function of the temperature and the conversion. The relevant selection steps are characterized on the basis of the isoinversion principle. The kinetically controlled formation of the alcoholate intermediates as well as the thermodynamically controlled Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley type equilibration are recognized as the two selection steps of the reduction.

- Cobalt-Nanoparticles Catalyzed Efficient and Selective Hydrogenation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons
-
The development of inexpensive and practical catalysts for arene hydrogenations is key for future valorizations of this general feedstock. Here, we report the development of cobalt nanoparticles supported on silica as selective and general catalysts for such reactions. The specific nanoparticles were prepared by assembling cobalt-pyromellitic acid-piperazine coordination polymer on commercial silica and subsequent pyrolysis. Applying the optimal nanocatalyst, industrial bulk, substituted, and functionalized arenes as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are selectively hydrogenated to obtain cyclohexane-based compounds under industrially viable and scalable conditions. The applicability of this hydrogenation methodology is presented for the storage of H2 in liquid organic hydrogen carriers.

- Enantioselective Hydroazidation of Trisubstituted Non-Activated Alkenes
-
A one-pot procedure for the enantioselective hydroazidation of non-activated trisubstituted alkenes is described. Hydroboration with monoisopinocampheylborane (IpcBH2) provides dialkylboranes that are in situ selectively converted into monoalkyl-substituted catecholboranes; these undergo radical azidation upon treatment with benzenesulfonyl azide and a radical initiator. Enantiomerically enriched azides were thus obtained in yields of 59–81 % and enantioselectivities of up to 94:6 e.r. (98:2 e.r. if the intermediate dialkylborane is purified by crystallization). A rapid access to enantiomerically pure (+)-rodocaine is also described. The use of other arenesulfonyl radical traps enables enantioselective hydroallylation, hydrosulfanylation, and hydrobromination reactions with yields of 71–86 %.

- Selective reduction of organic compounds with Al- trifluoromethanesulfonyldiisobutylalane. Comparison of its reactivity with Al-methanesulfonyldiisobutylalane
-
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
-
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.

- Efficient and Practical Arene Hydrogenation by Heterogeneous Catalysts under Mild Conditions
-
An efficient and practical arene hydrogenation procedure based on the use of heterogeneous platinum group catalysts has been developed. Rh/C is the most effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring, which can be conducted in iPrOH under neutral conditions and at ordinary to medium H 2 pressures (10 atm). A variety of arenes such as alkylbenzenes, benzoic acids, pyridines, furans, are hydrogenated to the corresponding cyclohexyl and heterocyclic compounds in good to excellet yields. The use of Ru/C, less expensive than Rh/C, affords an effective and practical method for the hydrogenation of arenes including phenols. Both catalysts can be reused several times after simple filtration without any significant loss of catalytic activity.

- 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.

- Reduction of carbonyl compounds by lanthanide metal/2-propanol: In-situ generation of samarium isopropyloxide for stereoselective Meerwein-Ponndorf- Verley reduction
-
The reduction of ketones and aldehydes with lanthanide metals (La, Ce, Sm, Yb) and a catalytic amount of iodine (5 mol %) in iPrOH proceeded smoothly to produce the corresponding alcohols as the major products in good yield, while in THF, methanol, and ethanol the pinacols were mainly produced. The yields of alcohols were improved most effectively by the use of Sm metal, the amount of pinacol produced thus being minimized. The actual reducing agent may be samarium isopropyloxide, which mediates the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley-type hydride-transfer reaction, since the reaction can be carried out catalytically with respect to samarium. The stereoselectivities of the reductions of the 2- and 4-substituted cyclohexanones with Sm/iPrOH were higher than those achieved with SmI2/iPrOH or Sm/ H20. The asymmetric reduction of acetophenone could be achieved to give the 1-phenylethanol in up to 95% ee in the presence of the chiral ligand 7. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- Amber-woody scent: Alcohols with divergent structure present common olfactory characteristics and sharp enantiomer differentiation
-
Only one out of the four possible trans isomers of the important perfumery alcohol Norlimbanol (1) possesses a very strong amber-woody smell, the isomer 1A with (1′ R,3S,6'S) absolute configuration. Its enantiomer 1B is almost odorless and devoid of amber-woody character, whereas the diastereoisomers 1C and 1D are considerably weaker and perceptible only by the most-sensitive persons. The same is true for a whole series of perceptual analogs of 1, including β-alkoxy alcohols. These ethers belong to two structural classes: [(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)oxy]- (see 3, 4, and 16) or {[2-(tert-butyl)cyclohexyl]oxy)alkan-2-ol derivatives (see 19 and 20; Table). A superimposition model allowing for good overlap of the respective hydroxylated side chains offers a tentative explanation for the shared perceptual characteristics of the two classes (Fig. 5). The lipophilic cyclohexane moieties present only a minimal overlap in this model, suggesting that quite larger molecules might possess the same smell. (S)-Configured β-alkoxy alcohols can conveniently be obtained on a larger scale by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketones (Scheme 9).

- Activation of Reducing Agents. Sodium Hydride Containing Complex Reducing Agents. 36. Stereoselective Reduction of Alkylcyclohexanones and Rigid Ketones by MCRA's
-
The stereoselectivity of reduction of selected ketones by a variety of Complex Reducing Agents (resulting from the Aggregative Activation of NaH and symbolized MCRA's) has been investigated.The stereochemistry of reduction is shown to be dependent on the nature of the metal.Steric hindrance plays an important role and the apparent size of the reagents follows the trend MnCRA's > ZnCRA's, CdCRA's > NiCRA's, CoCRA's.On the other hand NiCRA's and CoCRA's have been found as very strong isomerizing reagents.Insertion of the metal species into the C-O bond with formation of metallacycles appears as one of the possible mechanisms intervening during the reduction of ketones by MCRA's.

- Kinetics and Activation Parameters for the Reduction of Alkylcyclohexanones by Lithium Tri-tert-butoxyaluminohydride
-
The kinetics of reduction of 15 cyclohexanones by lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminohydride in tetrahydrofuran solvent are reported.The data confirm that the reaction is well represented by a simple second-order kinetic process.Second-order rate constants determined at various temperatures are recorded and the activation parameters determined.Rate constants vary from 5.0E-3 to 4.4 l mol-1 s-1; these rate constants exceed those of reduction by NaBH4 by factors varying from 50 (unhindered cyclohexanones) to 450 (hindered cyclohexanones).The reductions appear to be nearly isoenthalpic, all but three of the values of ΔH(excit.) being in the range 6.8 +/- 0.8 kcal mol-1.Variations in rates between ketones are caused by changes in ΔS(excit.), and entropy is also more significant than enthalpy in the free-energy barrier to reaction.Mechanistic aspects of the reduction are discussed.
