Reported here is an efficient enantioselective hydrogenation of cyclic oxocarbenium ions generated in situ through collapse of corresponding acetal substrates. The asymmetric approach provides a straightforward access to a variety of chiral α-aryl substituted 1,3-dihydroisobenzofurans in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities.α-Alkynyl substituted 1,3-dihydroisobenzofurans were also proved to be suitable substrates. In addition, when the reaction was performed at gram scale, the desired product was obtained in good yields with excellent enantioselectivity.

The chelate phosphanes Diphos, Diop, and Norphos were reacted with C5H5Mn(CO)2THF and CH3C5H4Mn(CO)2THF to give mononuclear complexes, containing the phosphanes as unidentate or as bidentate ligands, and dinuclear complexes, containing bridging phosphane ligands. In C5H5Mn(CO)2Diop one of the two P(C6H5)2 groups of Diop is coordinated to the C5H5Mn(CO)2 fragment; the uncoordinated P(C6H5)2 group makes it a monodentate ligand. C5H5Mn(CO)2Diop together with [Rh(cod)Cl]2 was used as an in situ catalyst in the enantioselective hydrogenation of (Z)-a-[N -acetam ino]cinnamic acid (78.4% ee) and in the enantioselective hydrosilylation of acetophenone with diphenylsilane (6.7% ee).

An efficient method was developed for the synthesis of α-amino ketones from α-hydroxy imines. The reaction occurs through an α-iminol rearrangement involving the migration of a substituent of the carbinol carbon to the imine carbon. The optimal catalysts were found to be silica gel or montmorillonite K 10, which effected migration of a variety of aryl and alkyl substituents in high yields. The rearrangement can also be carried out on imines generated in situ from aldehydes and amines in essentially the same yields as those from the preformed imines.

Colabed methane system is a natural system that consists of coal seams, coalbed methane in them and surrounding rocks. As an unconventional natural gas, reservoir and conservation of coalbed methane are different from those of conventional hydrocarbon. The Qinshui Basin, covering an area about 30,000sq.km in southeastern Shanxi Province, has abundant coalbed methane resources in the carboniferous Taiyuan formation and permian Shanxi formation, with an in-situ methane resource 3.3×1012 m3.In this study, the structural deformation and tectonic evolution of coalbed methane system in Qinshui basin were reported. Relationships between structural deformation and the formation of coalbed methane reservoir in Qinshui Basin were also discussed. The results show that Yangquan-Shouyang area in the north part of the basin and Tunliu-Xiangyuan area in the east are favorable for formation coalbed methane system. In contrast, Jincheng-Qinshui area in the south part of basin and the Qinyuan area in the middle of basin are favorable for both the formation of coalbed methane reservoirs and high yields as well.

A mild and general metalation procedure for the functionalization of 1,2-dicyanobenzene and related polyfunctionalized benzonitriles using a commercially available continuous flow setup is reported. The addition of TMPLi (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl) to a mixture of an aromatic substrate with a metallic salt such as ZnCl2 under appropriate conditions (0 °C, 20 s) leads to fast in situ lithiation of the arene followed by transmetalation with ZnCl2 to afford the corresponding functionalized arylzinc compound that were trapped with various electrophiles in high yields. The reaction scope of these in situ trapping metalations in flow is broader and needs less equivalents of the base and the metal salt than the corresponding batch procedure.

AbstractA method is developed for in situ generation of 1,3-dioxan-5-one derivatives 2. These compounds are simple precursors for accessing carbohydrate structures and previously had to be produced via stepwise procedures using excessive amounts of reagents. In the present work, three different derivatives of 2 were synthesized via the reaction of trialkoxyalkanes with dihydroxyacetone dimer 1 in the presence of acetic acid as the catalyst. In the same pot, derivatives of 2 were reacted with aromatic aldehydes and 30 mol% of pyrrolidine to obtain high yields of the respective bischalcones 3 within short time periods.

A novel transfer hydrogenation methodology for the reduction of ketones (14 examples) and benzaldehyde derivatives (12 examples) to the corresponding alcohols using Pd nanoparticles supported on mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C3N4/Pd) as a reusable catalyst and ammonia borane as a safe hydrogen source in an aqueous solution MeOH/H2O (v/v = 1/1) is described. The catalytic hydrogenation reactions were conducted in a commercially available high-pressure glass tube at room temperature, and the corresponding alcohols were obtained in high yields in 2–5 min. Moreover, the presented transfer hydrogenation protocol shows partial halogen selectivity with bromo-, fluoro-, and chloro-substituted carbonyl analogs. In addition, the present catalyst can be reused up to five times without losing its efficiency, and scaling-up the reaction enables α-methylbenzyl alcohol to be produced in 90% isolated yield.

Heterocyclic compounds play an important role in medicinal chemistry and occupy a central position in synthetic organic chemistry. Both benzofuran and benzothiophene are considered as very important structures due to their diverse biological and pharmacological profile. Many clinically approved drugs are synthetic and naturally occurring substituted benzofuryl and benzothiophenyl derivatives in conjunction with other heterocycles. Therefore, a new series of α-amino ketone (containing various azole rings) derivatives of benzofuran and benzothiophene are synthesized and subjected to the transfer hydrogenation with formic acid, catalyzed by RhCl[(R,R)-TsDPEN](C5Me5). The corresponding optically active β-amino alcohols are obtained in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (93%–99%), as determined by chiral HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). The absolute configuration of the products is confirmed by means of ECD (electronic circular dichroism) spectroscopy, supported by theoretical calculations.

A highly selective one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted isoflavanes has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the cycloaddition of methyl styryl ethers, derived from phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals under acidic conditions, with electron-withdrawing ortho-quinone methides generated in situ. When phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals were reacted with salicylaldehydes, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding isoflavanes stereoselectively in high yields and with excellent regioselectivities. The present reaction provides versatile access to functionalized isoflavanes, and constitutes a useful tool for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.
