Reduction of Electron-Deficient Alkenes Enabled by a Photoinduced Hydrogen Atom Transfer

Direct hydrogen atom transfer from a photoredox-generated Hantzsch ester radical cation to electron-deficient alkenes has enabled the development of an efficient formal hydrogenation under mild, operationally simple conditions. The HAT-driven mechanism is supported by experimental and computational studies. The reaction is applied to a variety of cinnamate derivatives and related structures, irrespective of the presence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in the aromatic ring and with good functional group compatibility. (Figure presented.).

Diboron-Mediated Rhodium-Catalysed Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes and Carbonyls

A diboron-mediated rhodium-catalysed transfer hydrogenation system using water as the hydrogen donor is developed. In addition to a series of alkenes with good functional group tolerance, this rhodium-based catalytic system also effectively reduces aldehydes and ketones. A plausible mechanism involving the RhI-catalysed hydrogen generation and Rh0-catalysed hydrogenation is proposed for the reaction.
