(Chemical Equation Presented) The Kishner reduction of 2-furylhydrazone gives 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran as the major abnormal reduction product. 2-Methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran is an excellent ene in the carbonyl-ene reaction, reacting with a variety of aldehydes. Most notable was the asymmetric carbonyl-ene reaction of 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran and decanal using Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4/(S)-BINOL to give the corresponding alcohol in 66% yield and 94% ee. The reaction of 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran with 2 equiv of 1,4-benzoquinone unexpectedly gave a monoalkylated 1,4-hydroquinone/1,4-benzoquinone electron donor-acceptor complex.

A Rh/ED-KIT-6 catalyst comprised of Rh nanoparticles embedded on mesoporous silica (KIT-6) functionalized with N1-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethane-1,2-diamine was synthesized by Rh3+ adsorption and chemical reduction in the liquid phase. The structure of ED-KIT-6 and textural properties of the pristine and supported Rh catalysts, as well as particle size and chemical state of the Rh species were examined by various analytical methods. The homogeneous dispersion of ultrasmall Rh nanoparticles, approximately 1.2 nm in size, stabilized by the grafted diamine (ED) species was confirmed. Rh/ED-KIT-6 was applied to the transfer hydrogenation of furfural (FFR) to furfuryl alcohol (FAL) by using formic acid (FA) as the hydrogen source. The effect of the solvent and reaction parameters, such as temperature, reaction time, and FA/FFR ratio, were investigated. The Rh-embedded catalyst exhibited a significantly high turnover frequency (TOF≈204 h?1) to that of Ru, Pd, or Ni-based catalysts on KIT-6. A plausible reaction mechanism was proposed after examining an independent FA decomposition reaction over the same Rh-ED-KIT-6 catalyst. The heterogeneity of the catalyst was verified by a hot filtration experiment. The Rh/ED-KIT-6 could be reused for up to three cycles without any decrease in catalytic activity and selectivity, but the slow oxidation of Rh species was detected.

Arylhydrazone-N-carboxylic esters (I) were treated with hydrazine hydrate, or sodium hydroxide, to give the hydrazones (II).Acidification of the latter produced the corresponding azines (III).The structures of compounds I - III were substantiated by chemical and spectral analysis.
