Visible-Light-Driven Catalytic Deracemization of Secondary Alcohols

Deracemization of racemic chiral compounds is an attractive approach in asymmetric synthesis, but its development has been hindered by energetic and kinetic challenges. Here we describe a catalytic deracemization method for secondary benzylic alcohols which are important synthetic intermediates and end products for many industries. Driven by visible light only, this method is based on sequential photochemical dehydrogenation followed by enantioselective thermal hydrogenation. The combination of a heterogeneous dehydrogenation photocatalyst and a chiral molecular hydrogenation catalyst is essential to ensure two distinct pathways for the forward and reverse reactions. These reactions convert a large number of racemic aryl alkyl alcohols into their enantiomerically enriched forms in good yields and enantioselectivities.

Chiral Frustrated Lewis Pairs Catalyzed Highly Enantioselective Hydrosilylations of Ketones

A highly enantioselective Piers-type hydrosilylation of simple ketones was successfully realized using a chiral frustrated Lewis pair of tri-tert-butylphosphine and chiral diene-derived borane as catalyst. A wide range of optically active secondary alcohols were furnished in 80%—99% yields with 81%—97% ee's under mild reaction conditions.

Co6H8(PiPr3)6: A Cobalt Octahedron with Face-Capping Hydrides

A square-planar Co4amide cluster, Co4{N(SiMe3)2}4(2), and an octahedral Co6hydride cluster, Co6H8(PiPr3)6(4), were obtained from metathesis-type amide to hydride exchange reactions of a CoIIamide complex with pinacolborane (HBpin) in the absence/presence of PiPr3. The crystal structure of 4 revealed face-capping hydrides on each triangular [Co3] face, while the formal CoII2CoI4oxidation state of 4 indicated a reduction of the cobalt centers during the assembly process. Cluster 4 catalyzes the hydrosilylation of 2-cyclohexen-1-one favoring the conjugate reduction. Generation of the catalytically reactive Co cluster species was indicated by a trapping experiment with a chiral chelating agent.
