A novel Br-bridged Pd chain complex, [Pd(hxn)2Br](TsO)2 (2) (TsO– = p-toluenesulfonate), was synthesized from a new in-plane ligand (3S,4S)-3,4-diaminohexane (hxn). 2 forms PdII/PdIV mixed-valence state, as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis and polarized Raman spectra. The hxn ligand provides the additional hydrogen bonds (CH···O) between the methyl group of the ligands and the O atoms of TsO– anions, which are weaker than those observed in the chain complex with hydroxy group, [Pd(dabdOH)2Br]Br2 (1).

α-Hydroxy ketones and vicinal diols constitute well-known building blocks in organic synthesis. Here we describe one enzyme that enables the enantioselective synthesis of both building blocks starting from diketones. The enzyme 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase (BudC) from S. marcescens CECT 977 belongs to the NADH-dependent metal-independent short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases family (SDR) and catalyses the selective asymmetric reductions of prochiral α-diketones to the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones and diols. BudC is highly active towards structurally diverse diketones in combination with nicotinamide cofactor regeneration systems. Aliphatic diketones, cyclic diketones and alkyl phenyl diketones are well accepted, whereas their derivatives possessing two bulky groups are not converted. In the reverse reaction vicinal diols are preferred over other substrates with hydroxy/keto groups in non-vicinal positions.
Selective transition-metal-free vicinal cis-dihydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons

A transition-metal-free cis-dihydroxylation of saturated hydrocarbons under ambient reaction conditions has been developed. The described approach allows a direct and selective synthesis of vicinal diols. The new reaction thereby proceeds via radical iodination and a sequence of oxidation steps. A broad scope of one-pot dual C(sp3)-H bond functionalization for the selective synthesis of vicinal syn-diols was demonstrated.
