Highly dispersed and stable catalysts comprising Ru nanoparticles supported on boron-doped amphiphilic core-shell mesoporous molecular sieves (MMS?C@MMS?NH2/B/Ru) with alkyl-modified hydrophobic silica core and NH2-functionalized hydrophilic silica shell are successfully prepared for use in hydrogenation of α-pinene for the first time. Dodecyl-modified MMS?C12@MMS?NH2/B/Ru exhibits the best catalytic activity under mild hydrogenation conditions. The abundant ?NH2 functional groups on the molecular sieve surface and their amphipathy allow the sieves to facilitate attachment of more Ru nanoparticles, and to simplify their dispersion in the water-organic reaction medium. Moreover, B-doped molecular sieves may adjust their acidity to meet the needs of α-pinene hydrogenation. Under mild reaction conditions (25 °C, 1 MPa H2, and 1 h), α-pinene can be completely converted with 99 % selectivity to cis-pinane, because every nanocomposite is equivalent to a microreactor. The catalytic activity does not change much over 5 cycles, indicating that Ru nanoparticles are stably loaded on the molecular sieves.

Under mild conditions (room temperature, 80 psi of H2) Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of the C═C bond in α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, including natural product precursors with bulky substituents in the β position and substrates possessing an array of additional functional groups. It also catalyzes the hydrogenation of many isolated double bonds. Mechanistic studies reveal that no radical intermediates are involved, and the catalyst appears to be homogeneous, thereby affording important complementarity to existing protocols for similar hydrogenation processes.

An iron catalyst has been developed for the transfer hydrogenation of carbon-carbon multiple bonds. Using a well-defined β-diketiminate iron(II) precatalyst, a sacrificial amine and a borane, even simple, unactivated alkenes such as 1-hexene undergo hydrogenation within 1 h at room temperature. Tuning the reagent stoichiometry allows for semi- and complete hydrogenation of terminal alkynes. It is also possible to hydrogenate aminoalkenes and aminoalkynes without poisoning the catalyst through competitive amine ligation. Furthermore, by exploiting the separate protic and hydridic nature of the reagents, it is possible to regioselectively prepare monoisotopically labeled products. DFT calculations define a mechanism for the transfer hydrogenation of propene with nBuNH2 and HBpin that involves the initial formation of an iron(II)-hydride active species, 1,2-insertion of propene, and rate-limiting protonolysis of the resultant alkyl by the amine N-H bond. This mechanism is fully consistent with the selective deuteration studies, although the calculations also highlight alkene hydroboration and amine-borane dehydrocoupling as competitive processes. This was resolved by reassessing the nature of the active transfer hydrogenation agent: experimentally, a gel is observed in catalysis, and calculations suggest this can be formulated as an oligomeric species comprising H-bonded amine-borane adducts. Gel formation serves to reduce the effective concentrations of free HBpin and nBuNH2 and so disfavors both hydroboration and dehydrocoupling while allowing alkene migratory insertion (and hence transfer hydrogenation) to dominate.
