Catalytic reduction of carboxylic acid to the corresponding alcohol is a challenging task of great importance for the production of a variety of value-added chemicals. Herein, a manganese-catalyzed chemoselective hydroboration of carboxylic acids has been developed with a high turnover number (>99?000) and turnover frequency (>2000 h-1) at 25 °C. This method displayed tolerance of electronically and sterically differentiated substrates with high chemoselectivity. Importantly, aliphatic long-chain fatty acids, including biomass-derived compounds, can efficiently be reduced. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction occurs through the formation of active manganese-hydride species via an insertion and bond metathesis type mechanism.

The reactions of 2-amidate-functionalized indolyl proligand 2-(2,6-iPr2C6H3NHCO)C8H5NH (H2L) with [(Me3Si)2N]3RE(μ-Cl)Li(THF)3 were studied leading to the synthesis and characterization of a series of novel discrete trinuclear rare-earth metallate amido complexes containing the anion [{η1:(μ2-η1:η1):η1-LREN(SiMe3)2}3(μ3-Cl)]? and cation Li+(THF)4 (RE = Y(1a), Nd (1b), Sm (1c), Gd (1d), Dy (1e), Er (1f), and Yb (1g)) in good yields by silylamine elimination. All of the complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods, elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and complexes 1a and 1c were additionally characterized by NMR spectroscopy. As proof of principle of their activity, these complexes were used as precatalysts for the hydroboration of esters using HBpin as the hydride source displaying high activity under neat and room temperature conditions. As a result, the ligand, ionic and multinuclear cooperative effects on catalytic activity were observed.
Catalytic Hydroboration of Esters by Versatile Thorium and Uranium Amide Complexes

The challenging hydroboration of esters is achieved using simple uranium and thorium amides, U[N(SiMe3)2]3 and [(Me3Si)2N]2An[κ2-(N,C)-CH2Si(CH3)2N(SiMe3)] (An = Th or U) acting as precatalysts in the reaction with pinacolborane (HBpin). All three complexes showed impressive catalytic activities, reaching excellent yields. A large scope of esters was investigated including aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic esters that were transformed cleanly to the corresponding hydroborated alcohols, which readily hydrolyzed to the free alcohols. Moreover, the actinide catalysts demonstrated unexpected high functional tolerance toward nitro, halide, cyano, and heteroaromatic functional groups. The reaction exhibited excellent selectivity toward the ester when additional double and triple unsaturated C-C bonds were present. Lactones and poly caprolactone have been successfully cleaved to the monomeric units, showing a great promise toward polymer degradation and recycling. Detailed kinetic studies are provided in order to determine the rate dependence on the concentration of catalyst, HBpin, and ester. A plausible mechanism is proposed based on stoichiometric reactions, DFT calculations, thermodynamic measurements, and deuterium-labeling studies.
Synthesis and Structure of a Dimeric Yttrium Complex [LSi(BH3)(C5Me4)Y(CH2SiMe3)2]2(L = PhC(N tBu)2) and Its Catalytic Application for Hydroboration of Ketones and Aldehydes

Treatment of cyclopentadienyl-amidinate silylene LSi(C5HMe4) (L = PhC(NtBu)2, 1) with BH3·THF yielded the silylene-borane-functionalized tetramethylcyclopentadiene LSi(BH3)-(C5HMe4) (2), which reacted with Y(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 to give the dimeric yittrium complex [LSi(BH3)-(C5Me4)Y(CH2SiMe3)2]2 (3). X-ray structural analysis disclosed that the dimeric structure was formed through the BH3 bridging to the yttrium atom. Complex 3 enabled catalytic hydroboration of ketones and aldehydes with excellent efficiency and chemoselectivity.
