Iridium-catalyzed highly chemoselective and efficient reduction of nitroalkenes to nitroalkanes in water

An iridium-catalyzed highly chemoselective and efficient transfer hydrogenation reduction of structurally diverse nitroalkenes was realized at very low catalyst loading (S/C = up to 10000 or 20?000), using formic acid or sodium formate as a traceless hydride donor in water. Excellent functionality tolerance is also observed. The turnover number and turnover frequency of the catalyst reach as high as 18?600 and 19?200 h-1, respectively. An inert atmosphere protection is not required. The reactivities of nitroalkenes are dependent on their substitution pattern, and the pH value is a key factor to accomplish the complete conversion and excellent chemoselectivity. Purification of products is achieved by simple extraction without column chromatography. The reduction procedure is facilely amplified to 10 g scale at 10?000 S/C ratio. The potential of this green reduction in enantioselective hydrogenation has been demonstrated.

Reduction of α,β-unsaturated nitroolefins into nitroalkanes with Hantzsch ester promoted by isothiouronium salts

α,β-Unsaturated nitroolefins were reduced into nitroalkanes with a Hantzsch ester, promoted by S-benzyl isothiouronium iodide. The reactions proceeded successfully to afford the desired products in high yields and with excellent chemoselectivity.

Nano-NiFe2O4 as an efficient catalyst for regio- and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of olefins/alkynes and dehydrogenation of alcohols under Pd-/Ru-free conditions

Here, we have demonstrated the magnetic nano-NiFe2O4 catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of olefins/alkynes using isopropyl alcohol as a source of hydrogen under ligand/base/Pd-/Ru-metal-free conditions, and dehydrogenation of alcohols under oxidant-free conditions.
