AbstractReduction reactions of unsaturated compounds are fundamental transformations in synthetic chemistry. In this context, the reduction of polarized double bonds such as carbonyl or C=C motifs can be achieved by hydrogenation reactions. We describe here a highly chemoselective Mn(I)-based PNP pincer catalyst for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones employing polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as inexpensive hydrogen donor.

The NaBH4/C (charcoal) system reduces a variety of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, acyloins and α-diketones to their corresponding alcohols in high to excellent yields. Reduction reactions were carried out in wet THF at r. t. In addition, regioselective 1,2-reduction of α,β - unsaturated aldehydes and ketones was achieved perfectly with this reducing system. By decreasing the amount of aprotic solvent, all reductions took place fast and efficiently under solid-gel condition

NaBH4 in the presence of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4·H2O), a weakly acidic reagent, efficiently reduces a variety of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, α,β -unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, α-diketones and acyloins to their corresponding alcohols in acetonitrile under heterogeneous condition. Reduction reactions were accomplished at room temperature or under reflux condition

A new catalytic system for transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds using glucose as a hydrogen donor was developed. Various ketones and aldehydes were efficiently converted to corresponding alcohols with two equivalents of glucose in the presence of a small amount (0.1 to 1.0 mol%) of iridium catalyst that had a functional ligand. In this catalytic system, transfer hydrogenation reactions proceeded based on the cooperativity of iridium and a functional ligand. It should be noted that environmentally benign water could have been used as a solvent in the present catalytic system for the reduction of various carbonyl substrates. Furthermore, the reaction scope could be extended by using N,N-dimethylacetamide as a reaction solvent.

Aziridination reactions represent a powerful tool in aziridine synthesis. Significant progress has been achieved in this field in the last decades, whereas highly functionalized aziridines including 3-arylated aziridine-2-carbonyl compounds play an important role in both medical and synthetic chemistry. For the reasons listed, in the current review we have focused on the ways to obtain 3-arylated aziridines and on the recent advances (mainly since the year 2000) in the methodology of the synthesis of these compounds via aziridination.

Thermolyses in polar solvents, of Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2-ones or 2-phenylimino-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines derived from α,β-epoxyketones, yields acetylenic carbonyl compounds. Good yields of acetylenic aldehydes and ketones are obtained for those cases in which the epoxide is ring fused. Extension to acyclic cases failed primarily due to predominance of a parallel decomposition pathway. The method complements the procedures developed by Eschenmoser and co-workers for the conversion of, α,β-epoxyketones into acetylenic carbonyl compounds.
