The combination of an enantiomerically pure N'-alkylated derivative of N-4-toluenesulfonyl-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine (TsDPEN) with iridium trichloride results in the formation of a catalyst with high selectivity for ketone hydrogenation. Products with enantiomeric excesses of up to 84% were formed. The best results were obtained using a ligand with an n-alkyl chain and ortho-substituted acetophenone derivatives and other hindered derivatives. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Selective alpha-oxidation of ethers under aerobic conditions is a long-pursued transformation; however, a green and efficient catalytic version of this reaction remains challenging. Herein, we report a new family of iron catalysts capable of promoting chemoselective alpha-oxidation of a range of ethers with excellent mass balance and high turnover numbers under 1 atm of O-2 with no need for any additives. Unlike metalloenzymes and related biomimetics, the catalyst produces H-2 as the only byproduct. Mechanistic investigations provide evidence for an unexpected two-step reaction pathway, which involves dehydrogenative incorporation of O-2 into the ether to give a peroxobisether intermediate followed by cleavage of the peroxy bond to form two ester molecules, releasing stoichiometric H-2 gas in each step. The operational simplicity and environmental friendliness of this methodology affords a useful alternative for performing oxidation, while the unique ability of the catalyst in oxygenating a substrate via dehydrogenation points to a new direction for understanding metalloenzymes and designing new biomimetic catalysts.

The synthesis of a series of tridentate ligands based on a homochiral 1,2-diamine structure attached to a triazole group and their subsequent applications to the asymmetric transferhydrogenation of ketones are described. In the best cases, alcohols of up to 93% ee were obtained. Although base is not required, the use of Ru3(CO)12 as metal source is essential, indicating a unique mechanism for the
