This study introduces a new type of ene/yne-reductase from Cyclocybe aegerita with a broad substrate scope including aliphatic and aromatic alkenes/alkynes from which aliphatic C8-alkenones, C8-alkenals and aromatic nitroalkenes were the preferred substrates. By comparing alkenes and alkynes, a ~2-fold lower conversion towards alkynes was observed. Furthermore, it could be shown that the alkyne reduction proceeds via a slow reduction of the alkyne to the alkene followed by a rapid reduction to the corresponding alkane. An accumulation of the alkene was not observed. Moreover, a regioselective reduction of the double bond in α,β-position of α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated alkenals took place. This as well as the first biocatalytic reduction of different aliphatic and aromatic alkynes to alkanes underlines the novelty of this biocatalyst. Thus with this study on the new ene-reductase CaeEnR1, a promising substrate scope is disclosed that describes conceivably a broad occurrence of such reactions within the chemical landscape.

Paragraph 0053-0056, (2021/06/21)
The invention provides a method for high-selectivity reduction of nitroolefin C=C double bonds. According to the method, a bidentate nitrogen ligand-[Cp* IrCl2] complex is used as the catalyst, nitroolefin can be conveniently converted into nitroalkane, the catalytic efficiency is extremely high, and the substrate conversion rate is 99% or above. The high-purity nitroalkane can be separated through simple extraction, liquid separation and solvent removal under reduced pressure. The selected solvent is water or a mixture of water and a hydrophilic solvent. The method is green, environment-friendly and high in reaction efficiency. The nitroalkane compound prepared by the invention is a very important organic intermediate, and has wide application in the fields of national defense, pesticide, biology, medicine, fine chemical engineering and the like.

Copper hydrides are very useful in hydrogenation reactions. We report a stable Stryker-type copper hydride reagent protected by hemilabile phosphines: [Cu8H6(dppy)6](OTf)2(Cu8-H, dppy = diphenylphosphino-2-pyridine). The metal core of this cluster has a bicapped octahedral configuration, and the copper-bound hydrides each triply bridges over a triangular face of the octahedron. This cluster is attractive due to its facile preparation and excellent stability under ambient conditions. The comparable activity and selectivity both in the stoichiometric and catalytic reactions makeCu8-Ha promising alternative to Stryker's reagent.
