Mechanistic study of β-substituent effects on the mechanism of ketone reduction by Sml2

The rate constants for the reduction of 2-butanone, methylacetoacetate, N, N-dimethylacetoacetamide, and a series of 4′- and 2′-substituted acetophenone derivatives by Sml2 were determined in dry THF using stopped-flow absorption decay experiments. Activation parameters for the electron-transfer processes in each series of compounds were determined by a temperature-dependence study over a range of 30 to 50 °C. Two types of reaction pathways are possible for these electron-transfer processes. One proceeds through coordination (Scheme 1) while the other involves chelation (Scheme 2). The results described herein unequivocally show that both coordination and chelation provide highly ordered transition states for the electron-transfer process but the presence of a chelation pathway dramatically increases the rate of the reduction of these substrates by Sml2. The ability of various functional groups to promote a chelated reaction pathway plays a crucial role in determining the rate of the reaction. Among the 2′-substituted acetophenone series, the presence of a fluoro, amino, or methoxy substituent enhances the rate of reduction compared to the 4′-analogues. In particular, the presence of a 2′-fluoro substituent on acetophenone provides a highly ordered transition state and considerably enhances the rate of ketone reduction.

A convenient approach to assemble 1,2,3-triazole-fused 4 H -3,1-benzoxazines has been developed. Diverse alcohol-tethered 5-iodotriazoles, readily accessible by a modified protocol of Cu-catalyzed (3+2)-cycloaddition, were utilized as precursors of the target fused heterocycles. The intramolecular C-O coupling proceeded efficiently under base-mediated transition-metal-free conditions, furnishing cyclization products in yields up to 96%. Suppression of the competing reductive cleavage of the C-I bond was achieved by the use of Na 2CO 3in acetonitrile at 100 °C. This practical and cost-effective procedure features a broad substrate scope and valuable functional group tolerance.
Effect of solvent in the hydrogenation of acetophenone catalyzed by Pd/S-DVB

A solvent effect was found in the hydrogenation of acetophenone catalyzed by a new Pd/S-DVB catalyst, immobilized on a styrene (S)/divinylbenzene (DVB) copolymer containing phosphinic groups. The porous structure of the catalyst was characterized by a specific surface area of 94.7 m2g?1. The presence of Pd(ii) and Pd(0) in Pd/S-DVB was evidenced by XPS and TEM. Pd/S-DVB catalyzes the hydrogenation of acetophenone (APh) to 1-phenylethanol (PhE) and ethylbenzene (EtB). The highest conversion of APh was obtained in methanol (MeOH) and in 2-propanol (2-PrOH), while in water it was lower. The conversion of APh correlates well with the hydrogen-bond-acceptance (HBA) capacity of the solvent. However, in all binary mixtures of alcohol and water the APh conversion and the yield of products significantly decreased. The observed inhibiting effect can be explained by the microheterogeneity of these mixtures and the blocking of the catalyst surface restricting access of the substrates to the Pd centers.
Ruthenium complexes of phosphine-amide based ligands as efficient catalysts for transfer hydrogenation reactions

This work presents three mononuclear Ru(ii) complexes of tridentate phosphine-carboxamide based ligands providing a NNP coordination environment. The octahedral Ru(ii) ion shows additional coordination with co-ligands; CO, Cl and CH3OH. All three Ru(ii) complexes were thoroughly characterized including their crystal structures. These Ru(ii) complexes were utilized as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of assorted carbonyl compounds, including some challenging biologically relevant substrates, using isopropanol as the hydrogen source. The binding studies illustrated the coordination of the isopropoxide ion by replacing a Ru-ligated chloride ion followed by the generation of the Ru-H intermediate that was isolated and characterized and was found to be involved in the catalysis.
