UNUSUAL HIGH REACTIVITIES OF 5α- AND 5β-CHOLESTAN-3-ONES IN THE HYDROGENATION CATALYZED BY PALLADIUM. EVIDENCE FOR AN ATTRACTIVE INTERACTION OF THE STEROID α-FACE WITH PALLADIUM

5α- And 5β-cholestan-3-ones are 30 and 17 times as reactive as 4-t-butylcyclohexanone in Pd catalyzed competitive hydrogenation in t-BuOH.The high reactivity of the steroid ketones and unusual hydrogenation stereochemistry on Pd have been explained on the basis of an attractive interaction of the steroid α-face with Pd.

2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-galactopyranose and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose can be reduced at C-1 and oxidised at C-5 to give 1,3,4,5-tetra-O-benzyl-L-tagatopyranose and 1,3,4,5-tetra-O-benzyl-L-sorbopyranose, respectively, in good yields, through an intramolecular M-P/O reaction induced by preoxidised samarium diiodide.

A series of half-sandwich rhodium complexes with tridentate phenylene-based bis(thione) (SCS) ligand have been synthesized and characterized. Both half-sandwich rhodium complexes and phenylene-based bis(thione) compounds were fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectra, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The catalytic activities of half-sandwich rhodium complexes toward the transfer hydrogenation of ketones to their corresponding alcohols were explored using 2-propanol as hydrogen source and solvent. And the half-sandwich rhodium complexes exhibited high catalytic activity for transfer hydrogenation of ketones with a broad functional group tolerance.
Base-free transfer hydrogenation of aryl-ketones, alkyl-ketones and alkenones catalyzed by an IrIIICp* complex bearing a triazenide ligand functionalized with pyrazole

An IrIIICp* complex (2) bearing a triazenide ligand functionalized with pyrazole was synthesized and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and the structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The catalytic activity of 2 and the control complex 3, which lacks of pyrazole in its structure, was evaluated in the reduction of aryl-ketones, alkyl-ketones, α,β-unsaturated and γ,δ-unsaturated ketones. The catalytic system, using either 2 or 3, exhibited good to excellent selectivity when tested with ketones and alkenones at 90 °C in 2-propanol as hydrogen source under base-free conditions. Reactivity of 2 in 2-propanol and NaH gave a neutral metal hydride (4) while in the absence of base gave two major cationic hydrides species (5 and 6).
