Efficient Palladium-Catalyzed C O Hydrogenolysis of Benzylic Alcohols and Aromatic Ketones with Polymethylhydrosiloxane
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple method has been developed for the reductive deoxygenation of aromatic ketones and benzylic alcohols in the presence of polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS). The reductive deoxygenation of aromatic ketones and benzylic alcohols, including secondary alcohols, to the corresponding methylene hydrocarbons has been achieved in good to excellent yields using palladium chloride (PdCl2) as catalyst and PMHS as hydride source. Such deoxygenations were successfully with aryl alkyl ketones and diaryl ketones, as exemplified by the reductive deoxygenation of acetophenone and benzopheneone, respectively. The corresponding benzylic alcohols and secondary alcohol analogues could also be converted into their respective methylene hydrocarbons by the PdCl2/PMHS system.

Catalytic Pd(OAc)(2) and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS), in conjunction with aqueous KF, and a catalytic amount of an aromatic chloride, effects the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective deoxygenation of benzylic oxygenated substrates at room temperature in THF. Preliminary mechanistic experiments suggest the process to involve palladium-nanoparticle-catalyzed hydrosilylation followed by C-O redu...

متن کاملEfficient and convenient heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed regioselective deuteration at the benzylic position.
The Pd/C-catalyzed efficient and regioselective hydrogen-deuterium (H-D) exchange reaction on the benzylic site proceeded in D2O in the presence of a small amount of H2 gas. The use of the Pd/C-ethylenediamine complex [Pd/C(en)] as a catalyst instead of Pd/C led to the efficient deuterium incorporation into the benzylic site of O-benzyl protective groups without hydrogenolysis. These H-D exchan...

Hydrogenolysis is an important synthetic method in organic chemistry, and has been widely applied in industrial processes, natural product synthesis, and the removal of waste materials. In practice, most hydrogenolysis reactions have been used for the synthesis of racemic or achiral compounds. Very few studies on asymmetric homogeneous hydrogenolysis have been reported. The first example, repor...
متن کاملMild Deoxygenation of Aromatic Ketones and Aldehydes over Pd/C Using Polymethylhydrosiloxane as the Reducing Agent**
Herein, a practical and mild method for the deoxygenation of a wide range of benzylic aldehydes and ketones is described, which utilizes heterogeneous Pd/C as the catalyst together with the green hydride source, polymethylhydrosiloxane. The developed catalytic protocol is scalable and robust, as exemplified by the deoxygenation of ethyl vanillin, which was performed on a 30 mmol scale in an ope...
