Abstract
Transfer hydrogenation is a crucial technology for synthesizing fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, offering improved safety and convenience over traditional hydrogen methods, although it typically requires external bases. While isopropanol is commonly used as a hydrogen source, methanol is superior but faces challenges due to its high dehydrogenation energy barrier, limiting its use under mild conditions. This study focuses on investigating the differences in the electrogenerated base-driven transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones in isopropanol and methanol solvents, using Mn(CO)₅Br and cyclohexanediamine derivatives as the catalyst. The research demonstrates that high enantiomeric excess (ee) values were obtained in isopropanol in the presence of chiral Mn-based catalysts, while only racemic products were observed in methanol. The results indicate a strong dependence of the catalytic pathway on the choice solvent: in isopropanol, the catalyst operates via a metal-ligand cooperative transfer hydrogenation, resulting in high ee values, whereas in methanol, transfer hydrogenation occurs through metal hydride transfer with no stereoselectivity.

Exploring the In Situ Formation Mechanism of Polymeric Aluminum Chloride-Silica Gel Composites under Mechanical Grinding Conditions: As a High-Performance Nanocatalyst for the Synthesis of Xanthene and Pyrimidinone Compounds. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:32577-32587. [PMID: 36120003 PMCID: PMC9476523 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c04159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The use of mechanical ball milling to facilitate the synthesis of organic compounds has attracted intense interest from organic chemists. Herein, we report a new process for the preparation of xanthene and pyrimidinone compounds by a one-pot method using polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC), silica gel, and reaction raw materials under mechanical grinding conditions. During the grinding process, polymeric aluminum chloride and silica gel were reconstituted in situ to obtain a new composite catalyst (PAC-silica gel). This catalyst has good stability (six cycles) and wide applicability (22 substrates). The Al-O-Si active center formed by in situ grinding recombination was revealed to be the key to the effective catalytic performance of the PAC-silica gel composites by the comprehensive analysis of the catalytic materials before and after use. In addition, the mechanism of action of the catalyst was verified using density functional theory, and the synthetic pathway of the xanthene compound was reasonably speculated with the experimental data. Mechanical ball milling serves two purposes in this process: not only to induce the self-assembly of silica and PAC into new composites but also to act as a driving force for the catalytic reaction to take place. From a practical point of view, this "one-pot" catalytic method eliminates the need for a complex preparation process for catalytic materials. This is a successful example of the application of mechanochemistry in materials and organic synthesis, offering unlimited possibilities for the application of inorganic polymer materials in green synthesis and catalysis promoted by mechanochemistry.

Abstract
Due to its high potential for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, Michael addition reaction is one of the closest reactions to the heart of synthetic organic chemists. Electrochemistry presents a very stimulating and divergent resource for selective oxidation and reduction in organic chemistry, generating activated species, for example radical anions or radical cations. In this review, we try to underscore usefulness of electrogenerated Michael addition reaction with the hope of encouraging synthetic organic chemists to contemplate it, as an efficient and green strategy when it is required in their designed multi-step reaction pathways.
