Reductive arylation of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with cyanoarenes by electrolysis for the synthesis of alcohols

An electroreductive arylation reaction of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes as well as ketones with electro-deficient (hetero)arenes is described. A variety of cyano(hetero)arenes and carbonyl compounds, especially aliphatic aldehydes, have been examined, providing secondary and tertiary alcohols in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and divided-cell experiments, support the generation of aliphatic ketyl radicals and persistent heteroaryl radical anions via cathodic reduction followed by radical-radical cross-coupling.

Bifunctional Oxo-Tethered Ruthenium Complex Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Aryl N-Heteroaryl Ketones

A facile asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ortho-substituted aryl N-heteroaryl ketones and non-ortho-substituted N-oxide of aryl N-heteroaryl ketones using a readily available oxo-tethered ruthenium complex as a catalyst and sodium formate as a hydrogen source in an aqueous solution has been discovered. A variety of chiral aryl N-heteroaryl methanols were obtained with up to 99.9% ee.

Flexible N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine analogues: Synthesis and monoamine oxidase catalyzed bioactivation

Eighteen analogues of N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were synthesized and evaluated as substrates of monoamine oxidase. In general, the flexible analogues, characterized by the presence of a methylene (or ethylene) bridge between the aryl/heteroaryl and tetrahydropyridyl moieties, were better substrates of the enzyme than the conformationally restricted MPTP. It is suggested that the increased oxidative activity of these flexible analogues reflects enhanced binding due to the ability of the C-4-aryl/heteroaryl substituent to gain access to a hydrophobic pocket within the substrate binding site.
