structural and mechanistic studies on the organocatalytic asymmetrictransferhydrogenation of ketimines with trichlorosilane. Amines were obtained in good yields and moderate enantioselectivities. Both experiment and computation were utilized to provide an improved understanding of the mechanism. amines - Lewis bases - organocatalysis - transferhydrogenation - trichlorosilane
Reductive amination of various ketones and aldehydes by transferhydrogenation under aqueous conditions has been developed, by using cyclometallated iridium complexes as catalysts and formate as hydrogen source. The pH value of the solution is shown to be critical for a high catalytic chemoselectivity and activity, with the best pH value being 4.8. In comparison with that in organic solvents, the reductive

We report here an operationally simple, palladium-catalyzed cyclization reaction of N-aryl imines, affording indoles via the oxidative linkage of two C-H bonds under mild conditions using molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant. The process allows quick and atom-economical assembly of indole rings from inexpensive and readily available anilines and ketones and tolerates a broad range of functional groups

example of S-chiral organocatalysts, that are highly efficient and enantioselective in substoichometric amounts, and which use a chiral monosulfinamide group as Lewis base to activate trichlorosilane (HSiCl3) to reduce N-arylketimines. A plausible mechanism involving two molecules of the monosulfinamde catalyst for the activation of HSiCl3 prompted us to design S-chiral bissulfinamides as new catalysts

A new family of Lewis basic 2-pyridyl oxazolines have been developed, which can act as efficientorganocatalysts for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral aromatic ketones and ketimines with trichlorosilane, a readilyavailable and inexpensive reagent. 1-Isoquinolyl oxazoline, derived from mandelic acid, was identified as the most efficient catalyst of the series, capable of delivering high
