Abstract
Efficient chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of the C=C bond of α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed, using the iridium complexes containing pyridine-imidazolidinyl ligands as catalysts and formic acid as a hydrogen source. In comparison with organic solvents or H2O as solvent, the mixed solvents of H2O and MeOH are critical for a high catalytic chemoselective transformation. This chemoselective transfer hydrogenation can be carried out in air, which is operationally simple, allowing a wide variety of α,β-unsaturated substrates with different functional groups (electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents) leading to chemoselective transfer hydrogenation in excellent yields. The practical application of this protocol is demonstrated by a gram-scale transformation.

- 21 Procedure for the Preparation of 3To a 25.0 mL dried Schlenk tube was added the α,β-unsaturated ketone (2, 0.5 mmol), Ir catalyst (1.0 mol %), HCOOH (10.0 equiv), water (2.0 mL), and MeOH (2.0 mL) successively. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h under air. After reaction was complete, the mixture was diluted with H2O (15.0 mL), neutralized with saturated aq. NaHCO3, and extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10.0 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (3 × 10.0 mL) and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. After filtration and removal of the EtOAc under vacuum, the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with hexane or petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (10:1 to 50:1) to achieve the desired products.1,3-Diphenylpropan-1-one (3aa)12b Yield 90% (94.5 mg), pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.00 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2 H), 7.59 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.49 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.37–7.22 (m, 5 H), 3.37–3.30 (m, 2 H), 3.14–3.07 (m, 2 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 199.3, 141.3, 136.9, 133.1, 128.6, 128.6, 128.5, 128.1, 126.2, 40.5, 30.2.1-Phenyl-3-(p-tolyl)propan-1-one (3ab)14 Yield 90% (96.3 mg), pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.98–7.92 (m, 2 H), 7.55 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.45 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.13 (q, J = 8.1 Hz, 4 H), 3.31–3.24 (m, 2 H), 3.06–3.00 (m, 2 H), 2.32 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 199.4, 138.2, 136.9, 135.7, 133.1, 129.2, 128.6, 128.3, 128.1, 40.6, 29.7, 21.0.1-Phenyl-3-(m-tolyl)propan-1-one (3ac)2d Yield 86% (95.2 mg), pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.96 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H), 7.55 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.45 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.19 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.04 (dd, J = 13.2, 9.1 Hz, 3 H), 3.33–3.26 (m, 2 H), 3.06–2.99 (m, 2 H), 2.33 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 199.4, 141.3, 138.1, 136.9, 133.1, 129.3, 128.6, 128.5, 128.1, 126.9, 125.4, 40.6, 30.1, 21.4.3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (3ad)14 Yield 85% (102 mg), pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.97 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 2 H), 7.53 (t, J = 7.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.43 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.23–7.16 (m, 2 H), 6.92–6.81 (m, 2 H), 3.81 (s, 3 H), 3.29–3.22 (m, 2 H), 3.08–3.01 (m, 2 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 200.0, 157.6, 137.0, 132.9, 130.2, 129.6, 128.6, 128.2, 127.6, 120.6, 110.3, 55.2, 39.0, 25.8.3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (3ae)14 Yield 90% (109.8 mg), colorless oil (88.5–90 °C). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.98–7.91 (m, 2 H), 7.56 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.45 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.28–7.24 (m, 2 H), 7.18 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 2 H), 3.28 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.04 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 198.9, 139.7, 136.8, 133.2, 131.9, 129.8, 128.7, 128.6, 128.0, 40.2, 29.4.3-(4-Bromophenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (3af)14 Yield 83% (119.5 mg), colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.04–7.95 (m, 2 H), 7.58 (dd, J = 10.7, 4.0 Hz, 2 H), 7.48 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.35 (dd, J = 7.6, 1.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.27 (td, J = 7.5, 1.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.10 (td, J = 7.7, 1.7 Hz, 1 H), 3.37–3.32 (m, 2 H), 3.24–3.19 (m, 2 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 198.9, 140.6, 136.8, 133.2, 132.9, 130.8, 128.6, 128.1, 128.0, 127.7, 124.4, 38.6, 30.8.3-(2,3-Difluorophenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (3ag)Yield 81% (99.6 mg), pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.01–7.95 (m, 2 H), 7.59 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.48 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.08–6.98 (m, 3 H), 3.34 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.15 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 198.6, 149.9 (dd, J = 243, 13 Hz), 136.6, 133.2, 130.6 (d, J = 12 Hz), 128.7, 128.0, 125.6 (t, J = 4 Hz), 123.9 (dd, J = 6, 4 Hz), 115.2 (d, J = 17 Hz), 38.6, 23.6.3-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one (3ah)Yield 86% (102.3 mg), colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.00 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.59 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.49 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.11–7.05 (m, 3 H), 3.27 (dd, J = 9.3, 6.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.15–3.08 (m, 2 H), 2.33 (s, 3 H), 2.28 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 199.5, 139.3, 137.1, 136.9, 134.6, 133.1, 128.6, 128.1, 128.1, 126.9, 125.6, 39.6, 28.3, 20.7, 15.1.
