A reasonable explanation for the mechanism of photo-promoted chemoselective aerobic oxidation of alcohols using (ON)Ru(salen) complex as catalyst
摘要:
The mechanism of aerobic oxidation of alcohols using (ON)Ru(salen) complex as catalyst under photo-irradiation was examined through studies of kinetics of the oxidation, kinetic isotope effect in the oxidation, and effect of the ligand structure on the chemoselectivity of the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. It was demonstrated that the aerobic oxidation includes an intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer process that is attributed to realization of efficient differentiation of primary and secondary alcohols in the oxidation.

The first general method for the chemoselective synthesis of alpha,alpha-dideuterio alcohols directly from feedstock carboxylic acids under single electron transfer conditions using SmI2 is reported. This reaction proceeds after the activation of Sm(II) with a Lewis base, results in excellent levels of deuterium incorporation across a wide range of substrates, and represents an attractive alternative to processes mediated by pyrophoric alkali metal deuterides.

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.
