Enantioconvergent alkylation of ketones with racemic secondary alcohols: Via hydrogen borrowing catalysis

An enantioconvergent method for the alkylation of o-disubstituted aryl ketones with racemic secondary alcohols is described. This process is mediated by a commercially available iridium catalyst and proceeds via hydrogen borrowing catalysis. The highly enantioenriched β-substituted ketone products were readily cleaved to a wide range of functional groups via retro-Friedel-Crafts acylation.

Enabling catalytic ketone hydrogenation by frustrated lewis pairs

Hydrogenation of alkyl and aryl ketones using H2 is catalytically achieved in 18 examples using 5 mol % B(C6F5)3 in an ethereal solvent. In these cases the borane and ether behave as a frustrated Lewis pair to activate H2 and effect the reduction.

Screening method for the evaluation of asymmetric catalysts for the reduction of aliphatic ketones

ATH reductions of aliphatic ketones in water catalyzed by ruthenium coordinated by prolinamide ligands produce alcohols with moderate enantiomeric excesses in most cases. A set of seven aliphatic ketones is proposed for a rapid evaluation of the enantioselectivity of catalysts by one-pot multi-substrates reduction. The screening of a library of prolinamides shows that according to the structure of the ketones different ligands give the best asymmetric inductions.
