A synthetic method that enables the Hantzsch ester-mediated Minisci-type C2-alkylation of quinolines, isoquinolines and pyridines by N-(acyloxy)phthalimide esters (NHPI) under blue LED (light emitting diode) light (456 nm) is described. Achieved under mild reaction conditions at room temperature, the metal-free synthetic protocol was shown to be applicable to primary, secondary and tertiary NHPIs to give the alkylated N-heterocyclic products in yields of 21–99%. On introducing a chiral phosphoric acid, an asymmetric version of the reaction was also realised and provided product enantiomeric excess (ee) values of 53–99%. The reaction mechanism was delineated to involve excitation of an electron-donor acceptor (EDA) complex, formed from weak electrostatic interactions between the Hantzsch ester and NHPI, which generates the posited radical species of the redox active ester that undergoes addition to the N-heterocycle.

A chiral cobalt pincer complex, when combined with an achiral electron-rich mono-phosphine ligand, catalyzes efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of a wide range of aryl ketones, affording chiral alcohols with high yields and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (29 examples, up to 93% ee). Notably, the achiral mono-phosphine ligand shows a remarkable effect on the enantioselectivity of the reaction.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of ketones catalyzed by manganese complex as well as chiral PxNy-type ligand under mild conditions was investigated. Using 2-propanol as hydrogen source, various ketones could be enantioselectively hydrogenated by combining cheap, readily available [MnBr(CO)5] with chiral, 22-membered macrocyclic ligand (R,R,R',R')-CyP2N4 (L5) with 2 mol% of catalyst loading, affording highly valuable chiral alcohols with up to 95% ee.

The Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones with chiral diamine and monodentate achiral phosphine has been developed. A wide range of ketones were hydrogenated to afford the corresponding chiral secondary alcohols in good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98.1% ee). In addition, an appropriate mechanism for the asymmetric hydrogenation was proposed and verified by NMR spectroscopy.

A half-sandwich ruthenium-p-cymene organometallic complex has been immobilized at Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) sidewalls through a stepwise covalent chemistry protocol. The introduction of amino groups by means of diazonium-chemistry protocols leads the grafting at the outer walls of the nanotubes. This hybrid material is active in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones to yield alcohols, using as hydrogen source 2-propanol. SWNT?NH2?Ru presents a broad scope, performing the reaction under aerobic conditions and can be recycled over 9 consecutive reaction runs without losing activity or leaching ruthenium out. Comparison of the activity with related homogeneous catalysts reveals an improved performance due to the covalent bond between the metal and the material, achieving turnover frequencies as high as 192774 h?1.
Manganese-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones and conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives: A chemoselective, robust, and phosphine-free in situ-protocol

We communicate a user-friendly and glove-box-free catalytic protocol for the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and conjugated C[dbnd]C[sbnd]bonds of esters and nitriles. The respective catalyst is readily assembled in situ from the privileged [Mn(CO)5Br] precursor and cheap 2-picolylamine. The catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of t-BuOK whereby the corresponding hydrogenation products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The described system offers a brisk and atom-efficient access to both secondary alcohols and saturated esters avoiding the use of oxygen-sensitive and expensive phosphine-based ligands.

Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with formic acid was developed using a prolinol-phosphine chiral ligand. Cooperative action of the iridium atom and the ligand through alcohol-alkoxide interconversion is crucial to facilitate the transfer hydrogenation. Various ketones including alkyl aryl ketones, ketoesters, and an aryl heteroaryl ketone were competent substrates. An attractive feature of this catalysis is efficient discrimination between the alkyl and aryl substituents of the ketones, promoting hydrogenation with the identical sense of enantioselection regardless of steric demand of the alkyl substituent and thus resulting in a rare case of highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of tert-alkyl aryl ketones. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the sp3-C?H/π interaction between an sp3-C?H bond of the prolinol-phosphine ligand and the aryl substituent of the ketone is crucial for the enantioselection in combination with O?H???O/sp3-C?H???O two-point hydrogen-bonding between the chiral ligand and carbonyl group.

An efficient iridium catalyst composed of a simple and commercially available o-methoxytriphenylphosphine and 9-Amino (9-deoxy) epi-cinchonine was applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation of heteroaromatic ketones. A range of simple heteroaromatic ketones could be hydrogenated with good to excellent enantioselectivities and high activities. In particular, thiophene ketones and furyl ketones furnished 98.6% ee with up to 2.18 × 104(1/h) TOF. This catalytic system can be of practical value.

A family of ferrocene-based chiral PNP ligands is reported. These tridentate ligands were successfully applied in Mn-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, giving high enantioselectivities (92%～99% ee for aryl alkyl ketones) as well as high efficiencies (TON up to 2000). In addition, dialkyl ketones could also be hydrogenated smoothly. Manganese intermediates that might be involved in the catalytic cycle were analyzed. DFT calculation was carried out to help understand the chiral induction model. The Mn/PNP catalyst could discriminate two groups with different steric properties by deformation of the phosphine moiety in the flexible 5-membered ring.

The bis(carbonyl) manganese(I) complex [Mn(CO)2(1)]Br (2) with a chiral (NH)2P2 macrocyclic ligand (1) catalyzes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of polar double bonds with 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. Ketones (43 substrates) are reduced to alcohols in high yields (up to >99 %) and with excellent enantioselectivities (90–99 % ee). A stereochemical model based on attractive CH–π interactions is proposed.
