The elusive C-H bond activation of an organic fragment contained in many biologically active molecules and the use of the resulting noninnocent ligand in bimetallic catalysis applied to the acceptorless and base-free dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols has been performed by using the polyhydrides IrH5(PiPr3)2 (1) and OsH6(PiPr3)2 (2). Complex 1 activates the N-H bond of 1,3-bis(6′-methylpyridyl-2′-imino)isoindoline (HBMePHI) to give the mononuclear complex IrH2{κ2-Npy,Nimine(BMePHI)}(PiPr3)2 (3). Both 1 and 2 activate the C(sp2)-H bond at position 4 of the core isoindoline of the BMePHI ligand of 3. The reactions lead to the homobinuclear complex (PiPr3)2H2Ir{μ-(κ2-Npy,Nimine-BMePI-κ2-Nimine,C4iso)}IrH2(PiPr3)2 (4) and the heterobinuclear compound (PiPr3)2H2Ir{μ-(κ2-Npy,Nimine-BMePI-κ2-Nimine,C4iso)}OsH3(PiPr3)2 (5), respectively. The metalated carbon atom of 4 and 5 has a marked nucleophilic character. Thus, it adds the proton of alcohols to afford the respective cations [(PiPr3)2H2Ir{μ-(κ2-Npy,Nimine-BMePHI-κ2-Npy,Nimine)}IrH2(PiPr3)2]+ (6) and [(PiPr3)2H2Ir{μ-(κ2-Npy,Nimine-BMePHI-κ2-Npy,Nimine)}OsH3(PiPr3)2]+ (7), and the corresponding alkoxide. The mononuclear complex 3 and the binuclear compounds 4 and 5 are efficient catalysts for the acceptorless and base-free dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols. The binuclear complexes 4 and 5 are significantly more active than 3. The catalytic synergism is a consequence of the mutual electronic influence of the metals through the bridge. X-ray diffraction analysis data of the structures of 3-5 and the reactivity of 4 and 5 support a noninnocent character of the bridging ligand.

We report an engineered panel of ene-reductases (ERs) from Thermus scotoductus SA-01 (TsER) that combines control over facial selectivity in the reduction of electron deficient C[dbnd]C double bonds with thermostability (up to 70 °C), organic solvent tolerance (up to 40 % v/v) and a broad substrate scope (23 compounds, three new to literature). Substrate acceptance and facial selectivity of 3-methylcyclohexenone was rationalized by crystallisation of TsER C25D/I67T and in silico docking. The TsER variant panel shows excellent enantiomeric excess (ee) and yields during bi-phasic preparative scale synthesis, with isolated yield of up to 93 % for 2R,5S-dihydrocarvone (3.6 g). Turnover frequencies (TOF) of approximately 40 000 h?1 were achieved, which are comparable to rates in hetero- and homogeneous metal catalysed hydrogenations. Preliminary batch reactions also demonstrated the reusability of the reaction system by consecutively removing the organic phase (n-pentane) for product removal and replacing with fresh substrate. Four consecutive batches yielded ca. 27 g L?1 R-levodione from a 45 mL aqueous reaction, containing less than 17 mg (10 μM) enzyme and the reaction only stopping because of acidification. The TsER variant panel provides a robust, highly active and stereocomplementary base for further exploitation as a tool in preparative organic synthesis.

Rhodium and iridium diolefin catalysts for the acceptorless and base-free dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols have been prepared, and their degradation has been investigated, during the study of the reactivity of the dimers [M(μ-Cl)(I4-C8H12)]2 (M = Rh (1), Ir (2)) and [M(μ-OH)(I4-C8H12)]2 (M = Rh (3), Ir (4)) with 1,3-bis(6′-methyl-2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline (HBMePHI). Complex 1 reacts with HBMePHI, in dichloromethane, to afford equilibrium mixtures of 1, the mononuclear derivative RhCl(I4-C8H12){κ1-Npy-(HBMePHI)} (5), and the binuclear species [RhCl(I4-C8H12)]2{μ-Npy,Npy-(HBMePHI)} (6). Under the same conditions, complex 2 affords the iridium counterparts IrCl(I4-C8H12){κ1-Npy-(HBMePHI)} (7) and [IrCl(I4-C8H12)]2{μ-Npy,Npy-(HBMePHI)} (8). In contrast to chloride, one of the hydroxide groups of 3 and 4 promotes the deprotonation of HBMePHI to give [M(I4-C8H12)]2(μ-OH){μ-Npy,Niso-(BMePHI)} (M = Rh (9), Ir (10)), which are efficient precatalysts for the acceptorless and base-free dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols. In the presence of KOtBu, the [BMePHI]- ligand undergoes three different degradations: Alcoholysis of an exocyclic isoindoline-N double bond, alcoholysis of a pyridyl-N bond, and opening of the five-membered ring of the isoindoline core.
