A practical, efficient, and mild hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) under 1 atm H2was realized by single-sited 3D porous self-supported N-heterocyclic carbene iridium catalysts. Quantitative yields and selectivities were achieved at 0.02 mol% catalyst loading, and the catalyst could be reused for 9 runs without obvious loss of selectivity or activity.

An asymmetric hydrogenation of aroylacrylic acids catalyzed by RuPHOX-Ru catalyst has been developed, affording the corresponding chiral γ-lactones in high yields and with up to 93% ee. The methodology has the advantage of utilizing easily accessible substrates and has therefore expand the scope of the resulting chiral γ-lactones. Furthermore, high catalytic efficiency was achieved in that the reduction of both the C[dbnd]C and C[dbnd]O double bonds was achieved in one step. The current work provides an alternative and convenient pathway for the synthesis of a wide range of chiral γ-lactones.
Cooperative iodine and photoredox catalysis for direct oxidative lactonization of carboxylic acids
Duhamel, Thomas,Mu?iz, Kilian
, p. 933 - 936 (2019/01/23)
A new method for the formation of γ- and δ-lactones from carboxylic acids through direct conversion of benzylic C-H to C-O bonds is described. The reaction is conveniently induced by visible light and relies on a mild cooperative catalysis by the combination of molecular iodine and an organic dye.
