Highly Active and Selective Manganese C=O Bond Hydrogenation Catalysts: The Importance of the Multidentate Ligand, the Ancillary Ligands, and the Oxidation State
topic in catalysis. Herein, we introduce a highlyactive and selective homogeneous manganese‐based C=O bond hydrogenationcatalyst. Our catalyst has a broad substrate scope, it is able to hydrogenate aryl–alkyl, diaryl, dialkyl, and cycloalkyl ketones as well as aldehydes. A very good functional group tolerance including the quantitative and selectivehydrogenation of a ketone in the presence of a non‐shielded

The borrowinghydrogen or hydrogen autotransfer methodology is an elegant and sustainable or green concept to construct carbon-carbon bonds. In this concept, alcohols, which can be obtained from barely used and indigestible biomass, such as lignocellulose, are employed as alkylating reagents. An especially challenging alkylation is that of unactivated esters and amides. Only noble metal catalysts based
借用氢或氢自动转移方法是构建碳-碳键的优雅且可持续或绿色的概念。在这个概念中,可以从几乎不使用且难以消化的生物质(例如木质纤维素)中获得的醇被用作烷基化试剂。一个特别具有挑战性的烷基化是未活化的酯和酰胺。仅使用基于铱和钌的贵金属催化剂来完成这些反应。在此,我们报告了醇对未活化酰胺和酯的第一个贱金属催化的 α-烷基化反应。我们实验室最近开发的钳形配体稳定的钴配合物可以非常有效地催化这些反应。预催化剂可以很容易地从市售的起始材料以多克规模合成,并且在碱性反应条件下自活化。这种 Co 催化剂类别还能够介导酯和酰胺的烷基化反应。此外,我们应用该方法合成酮并将醇转化为由两个碳原子拉长的醛。
Chromium‐Catalyzed Alkylation of Amines by Alcohols
use of amino alcohols as alkylating agents was demonstrated. The catalyst tolerates numerous functional groups, including hydrogenation‐sensitive examples. Compared to many other alcohol‐based amine alkylation methods, where a stoichiometric amount of base is required, our Cr‐based catalyst system gives yields higher than 90 % for various alkyl amines with a catalytic amount of base. Our study indicates
A simple protocol of manganese catalyzed selective α-alkenylation of ketones using primary alcohols is reported. The reactions proceeded well with a low loading of catalyst (0.3 mol %). The overall transformation operates through O–H bond activation of primary alcohols via dearomatization–aromatization metal ligand cooperation in the catalyst to provide the corresponding aldehydes, which further undergo
A series of well‐defined iron(II) complexes of the types [Fe(PNP)Br2] and [Fe(PNP)(CO)Br2] with PNPpincer ligands based on triazine and pyridine backbones were prepared and fully characterized. These complexes were tested as catalysts for the alkylation of amines by alcohols. The high‐spin complexes [Fe(PNP)Br2] are catalytically inactive. The low‐spin complexes [Fe(PNP)(CO)Br2] bearing a carbonyl
