We report herein an efficient aluminum-catalyzed asymmetric MPV reduction of ketones with broad substrate scope and excellent yields and enantiomeric inductions. A variety of aromatic (both electron-poor and electron-rich) and aliphatic ketones were converted to chiral alcohols in good yields with high enantioselectivities (26 examples, 70-98percent yield and 82-99percent ee). This method operates under mild conditions (-10 °C) and low catalyst loading (1-5 mol percent). Furthermore, this process is catalyzed by the earth-abundant main-group element aluminum and employs 2-propanol as the hydride source.

The selective properties of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans, in the antifungal agent Boni Protect, were investigated in the fermentative bioreduction of selected carbonyl compounds. Catalyzed by oxidoreductases contained in the microorganism Aureobasidium pullulans highly enantioselective biotransformation of prochiral ketones provides the secondary alcohols when the reaction is done in the presence of specific additives. Aureobasidium pullulans has also proved to be an effective bioreagent in the reduction of α- and β-keto esters. Optically pure hydroxy esters were obtained under fermentation conditions without the use of additives.

The use of a hydrophobic, imidazolium-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica for immobilization of chiral organometallic complexes as a heterogeneous catalyst is highly desirable as this catalyst can greatly promote an aqueous organic transformation due to its hydrophobic function and phase-transfer feature in an aqueous medium. Herein, by utilizing a three-component co-condensation strategy, we conveniently incorporate 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane, (R,R)-4-((trimethoxysilyl)ethyl)phenylsulfonyl-1,2-diphenylethylene-diamine and 1,3-bis(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium iodide within its silicate network, which is coordinated with (Cp?RhCl2)2, leading to an imidazolium-modified chiral rhodium/diamine-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica. A solid-state carbon spectrum discloses its well-defined chiral rhodium/diamine active species, and its X-ray diffraction; nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurement and transmission electron microscopy images reveal its ordered dimensional-hexagonal mesostructure. As a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst, this periodic mesoporous organosilica significantly boosts asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of α-haloketones and benzils in water, where the hydrophobic periodic mesoporous organosilica, phase-transfer-featured imidazolium-functionality, and the confined chiral organorhodium catalytic nature are responsible for its catalytic performance. Furthermore, the catalyst can be recovered and recycled seven times without the loss of its catalytic activity, making it an attractive heterogeneous catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in an environmentally friendly manner.
