In the reduction of allyl chlorides and acetates with sodium formate in a heptane-water two-phase system, water-soluble palladium complexes function as a novel type of catalyst which transports the substrate into the aqueous phase and causes it to react with sodium formate.

A straightforward biocatalytic method for the enzymatic preparation of different flavor esters starting from primary alcohols (e.g., isoamyl, n-hexyl, geranyl, cinnamyl, 2-phenethyl, and benzyl alcohols) and naturally available ethyl esters (e.g., formate, acetate, propionate, and butyrate) was developed. The biotransformations are catalyzed by an acyltransferase from Mycobacterium smegmatis (MsAcT) and proceeded with excellent yields (80-97%) and short reaction times (30-120 min), even when high substrate concentrations (up to 0.5 M) were used. This enzymatic strategy represents an efficient alternative to the application of lipases in organic solvents and a significant improvement compared with already known methods in terms of reduced use of organic solvents, paving the way to sustainable and efficient preparation of natural flavoring agents.

Lewis base promoted selective reduction of CO2 into boryl formates by using BH3NH3 as a reductant under mild conditions has been reported. The boryl formates, generated in situ, were shown to be reactive and versatile sources of formyl compounds to create new C–N, C–O, and C–C bonds. The reactivity of the boryl formates to yield formic acid, formamides, formates, secondary alcohols, and benzoheterocyclic rings was investigated.
