Inspired by the active site structures of lactate racemase and recently reported sulphur–carbon–sulphur (SCS) nickel pincer complexes, a series of scorpion-like SCS nickel pincer complexes with an imidazole tail and asymmetric claws was proposed and examined computationally as potential catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of 1-acetonaphthone. Density functional theory calculations reveal a proton-coupled hydride transfer mechanism for the dehydrogenation of (R)-(+)-1-phenyl-ethanol and the hydrogenation of 1-acetonaphthone to produce (R)-(+)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol and (S)-(−)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol. Among all proposed Ni complexes, 1Ph is the most active one with a rather low free energy barrier of 24 kcal/mol and high enantioselectivity of near 99% enantiomeric excess (ee) for the hydrogenation of prochiral ketones to chiral alcohols.

We report the first example of employing homogeneous organometal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation for the selective reductive amination of furfurals to furfurylamines. An efficient, chemoselective, and base-free method is described using Ru-MACHO-BH as catalyst and iPrOH as H donor. The method tolerates a range of substituents affording moderate to excellent yields.

In this review, we describe the synthesis and use in hydrogen transfer reactions of ruthenacycles and iridacycles. The review limits itself to metallacycles where a ligand is bound in bidentate fashion to either ruthenium or iridium via a carbon–metal sigma bond, as well as a dative bond from a heteroatom or an N-heterocyclic carbene. Pincer complexes fall outside the scope. Described are applications in (asymmetric) transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes, ketones, and imines, as well as reductive aminations. Oxidation reactions, i.e., classical Oppenauer oxidation, which is the reverse of transfer hydrogenation, as well as dehydrogenations and oxidations with oxygen, are described. Racemizations of alcohols and secondary amines are also catalyzed by ruthenacycles and iridacycles.
