Mn(0)-Mediated Chemoselective Reduction of Aldehydes. Application to the Synthesis of α-Deuterioalcohols
摘要:
A mild simple safe chemoselective reduction of different kinds to the corresponding alcohols mediated by the Mn dust/water system is described. In addition to this, the use of D2O leads to the synthesis of alpha-deuerated alcohols and constitutes an efficient inexpensive alternative for the preparation of these compounds.

The objective of this study has been to elucidate the mechanism of the rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydroboration process. Evidence that the reaction proceeds through a multistep pathway analogous to that of transition metal catalyzed olefinhydrogenation is presented. Deuterium labeling experiments reveal reversible elementary steps in the catalytic cycle; the level of reversibility is found to be substrate-dependent

Alkenes constitute an enabling motif in organic synthesis, as they can be functionalized to form highly substituted molecules. Z‐alkenes are generally challenging to access due to the thermodynamic preference for the formation of E‐alkenes compared to Z‐alkenes. Dehydrogenation methodologies to selectively form Z‐alkenes have not yet been reported. Herein, we report a Z‐selective, propargylic dehydrogenation that provides 1,3‐enynes through the invention of a Co‐catalyzed oxidation system. Observation of a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) revealed that deprotonation of the propargylic position is the rate limiting step. Additionally, isomerization experiments were conducted and confirmed that the observed Z‐selectivity is a kinetic effect. A proposed stereomechanistic model for the Z‐selectivity is included.
