General Description

1-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethanol, also known as fluorenyl ethyl alcohol, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C15H14O. It is a colorless, crystalline solid at room temperature and is commonly used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and perfumes. 1-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethanol is classified as a primary alcohol, meaning that it has a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a carbon atom that is bonded to only one other carbon atom. It is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethyl acetate, but has limited solubility in water. 1-(9H-fluoren-2-yl)ethanol has potential applications as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and as a building block in the production of various organic compounds. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be hazardous if not used properly.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The Manganese(I)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones: Disclosing the Macrocylic Privilege

The bis(carbonyl) manganese(I) complex [Mn(CO)2(1)]Br (2) with a chiral (NH)2P2 macrocyclic ligand (1) catalyzes the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of polar double bonds with 2-propanol as the hydrogen source. Ketones (43 substrates) are reduced to alcohols in high yields (up to >99 %) and with excellent enantioselectivities (90–99 % ee). A stereochemical model based on attractive CH–π interactions is proposed.

Optimum bifunctionality in a 2-(2-pyridyl-2-ol)-1,10-phenanthroline based ruthenium complex for transfer hydrogenation of ketones and nitriles: Impact of the number of 2-hydroxypyridine fragments

Considerable differences in reactivity and selectivity for 2-hydroxypyridine (2-HP) derived ruthenium complexes in transfer hydrogenation are described. Bifunctional Ru(ii)-(phenpy-OH) [phenpy-OH: 2-(2-pyridyl-2-ol)-1,10-phenanthroline] complex (2) exhibited excellent catalytic activity in transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones and nitriles. Notably, in comparison with all the reported 2-hydroxypyridine (2-HP) derived ruthenium complexes in transfer hydrogenation, complex 2 displayed significantly higher activity. Additionally, exploiting the metal-ligand cooperativity in complex 2, chemoselective TH of ketones was achieved and sterically demanding ketones were readily reduced. An outer-sphere mechanism is proposed for this system as exogenous PPh3 has no significant effect on the rate of this reaction. This is a rare example of a highly active bifunctional Ru(ii) catalyst bearing only one 2-HP unit.
