Paragraph 0168-0173, (2021/04/26)
The invention discloses a novel non-metal catalyst for catalyzing asymmetric hydrogenation of ketone and alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone. The preparation method of a chiral alcohol compound shown as formula IV comprises the following step of: reacting a ketone compound shown as formula V with hydrogen under the catalysis of tri(4-hydrotetrafluorophenyl)boron and a chiral oxazoline compound to obtain the chiral alcohol compound shown as the formula IV; the preparation method of a chiral tetralone compound shown as formula VI comprises the following step of: under the catalysis of tri(4-hydrotetrafluorophenyl)boron and a chiral oxazoline compound, reacting an alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone compound shown as formula VII with hydrogen to obtain the chiral tetralone compound shown as the formula VI. The method has the advantages of easy synthesis of raw materials, mild reaction conditions, simple operation, high stereoselectivity and the like, the ee value of the product is up to 92%, and the yield is up to 99%.

The use of manganese in homogeneous hydrogenation catalysis has been a recent focus in the pursuit of more environmentally benign base metal catalysts. It has great promise with its unique reactivity when coupled with metal-ligand cooperation of aminophosphine pincer ligands. Here, a manganese precatalyst Mn(P-N-P′)(CO)2, where P-N-P′ is the amido form of the ligand (S,S)-PPh2CHPhCHPhNHCH2CH2PiPr2, has been synthesized and used for base-free ketone hydrogenation. This catalyst shows exceptionally high enantioselectivity and good activity, with tolerance for base-sensitive substrates. NMR structural analysis of intermediates formed by the reaction of the amido complex with hydrogen under pressure identified a reactive hydride with an NOE contact with the syn amine proton. Computational analysis of the catalytic cycle reveals that the heterolytic splitting of dihydrogen across the MnN bond in the amido complex has a low barrier while the hydride transfer to the ketone is the turnover-limiting step. The pro-S transition state is found to be usually much lower in energy than the pro-R transition state depending on the ketone structure, consistent with the high (S) enantiomeric excess in the alcohol products. The energy to reach the transition state is higher for the distortion of the in-coming ketone than that of the hydride complex. In a one-to-one comparison with the similar iron catalyst FeH2(CO)(P-NH-P′), the manganese catalyst is found to have higher enantioselectivity, often over 95% ee, while the iron catalyst has higher activity and productivity. An explanation of these differences is provided on the basis of the more deformable iron hydride complex due to the smaller hydride ligands.
Method for synthesizing secondary alcohol in water phase

Paragraph 0032-0033, (2021/07/14)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing secondary alcohol in a water phase. The method comprises the following steps: taking ketone as a raw material, selecting water as a solvent, and carrying out catalytic hydrogenation reaction on the ketone in the presence of a water-soluble catalyst to obtain the secondary alcohol, wherein the catalyst is a metal iridium complex [Cp * Ir (2, 2'-bpyO)(OH)][Na]. Water is used as the solvent, so that the use of an organic solvent is avoided, and the method is more environment-friendly; the reaction is carried out at relatively low temperature and normal pressure, and the reaction conditions are mild; alkali is not needed in the reaction, so that generation of byproducts is avoided; and the conversion rate of the raw materials is high, and the yield of the obtained product is high. The method not only has academic research value, but also has a certain industrialization prospect.
