Chemoselective reduction of aldehydes by ruthenium trichloride and resin-bound formates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple, chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of aryl aldehydes with the aid of Amberlite((R)) resin formate (ARF), a stable H-donor, in the presence of catalytic ruthenium trichloride is described. Aromatic aldehydes and 1,2-diketones are reduced efficiently and selectively, while aryl ketones remain unchanged. Several other potentially reducible groups attached to the aromatic moiety are unaffected.

A chemoselective hydrosilylation method for aldehydes is developed using a ruthenium catalyst [(Ru(p-cymene)Cl2)2] and triethylsilane; a mono hydride bridged dinuclear complex [{(η(6)-p-cymene)RuCl}2(μ-H-μ-Cl)] and a Ru(iv) mononuclear dihydride complex [(η(6)-p-cymene)Ru(H)2(SiEt3)2] are identified as potential intermediates in the reaction and the proposed catalytic cycle involves a 1,3-hydri...
متن کاملMicrowave-Assisted Efficient and Chemoselective Acetalization of Aldehydes with Trimethyl Orthoformate
Efficient and chemoselective protection of aldehydes to the corresponding dimethyl acetals have been carried out by mixture of trimethyl orthoformate and methanol in the presence of a catalytic amount of TMSCl or AlCl3 under microwave irradiation. Under these conditions, acetalization of ketones does not take place and they remain intact under reaction conditions. The results are compared with ...
متن کاملAqueous room-temperature gold-catalyzed chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes.
Reduction of aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols is one of the most fundamental and useful reactions that are important in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Among the various available reduction protocols for the synthesis of valuable hydroxy compounds, catalytic transfer hydrogenation (TH) has emerged as the most viable, mainly due to the non-involvement of highly flammable and exp...
متن کاملVisible light photocatalytic reduction of aldehydes by Rh(iii)-H: a detailed mechanistic study.
The chemoselective photoreduction of aldehydes in the presence of ketones was achieved using triethanolamine (TEOA) as sacrificial electron donor, proflavine (PF) as photocatalyst and [Cp*Rh(iii)(bpy)Cl]Cl (Rhcat) as mediator. The reducing agent, which reacts with the carbonyl group was found to be [Cp*Rh(iii)(bpy)H]Cl (Rh(iii)-H). Contrary to formate-based reduction, its slow photochemical in ...
متن کامل-Solid Lithium Perchlorate, a Highly Efficient and Chemoselective Catalyst for the Acetalyzation of Aldehydes
-A simple, efficient, and general method has been developed for the chemoselective acetalization of aldehydes with 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-ethanediol and trimethyl orthoformate in the presence of solid lithium perchlorate under solvent-free conditions. Both cyclic and acyclic acetals of aldehydes were obtained under environmentally benign conditions in good to excellent yields.
