Rhodium catalyzed hydroformylation of α-methylstyrene was investigated in the presence of monodentate phosphine ligands L1-L6. We found that the phosphine with good π-acceptability could efficiently improve the activity of the α-methylstyrene hydroformylation. The big steric hindrance of α-C in α-methylstyrene enhanced the regioselectivity towards the linear aldehyde, which resulted in 3-phenylbutanal as the predominant product (>99.0%). When tris(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine (L1) modified Rh(acac)(CO)2 was employed as the catalyst, the TOF could reach up to 5786 h-1 in the α-methylstyrene hydroformylation at relatively mild conditions (110 °C, 6 MPa).
Optimized iminium-catalysed 1,4-reductions inside the resorcinarene capsule: achieving >90% ee with proline as catalyst

In previous work, we demonstrated that iminium-catalysed 1,4-reductions inside the supramolecular resorcinarene capsule display increased enantioselectivities as compared to their regular solution counterparts. Utilizing proline as the chiral catalyst, enantioselectivities remained below 80% ee. In this study, the reaction conditions were optimized by determining the optimal capsule loading and HCl content. Additionally, it was found that alcohol additives increase the enantioselectivity of the capsule-catalysed reaction. As a result, we report enantioselectivities of up to 92% ee for iminium-catalysed 1,4-reductions relying on proline as the sole chiral source. This is of high interest, as proline is unable to deliver high enantioselectivities for 1,4-reductions in a regular solution setting. Investigations into the role of the alcohol additive revealed a dual role: it not only slowed down the background reaction but also increased the capsule-catalysed reaction rate.

An iron-catalyzed deconstruction/hydrogenation reaction of alcohols through C-C bond cleavage is developed through photocatalysis, to produce ketones or aldehydes as the products. Tertiary, secondary, and primary alcohols bearing a wide range of substituents are suitable substrates. Complex natural alcohols can also perform the transformation selectively. A investigation of the mechanism reveals a procedure that involves chlorine radical improved O-H homolysis, with the assistance of 2,4,6-collidine.
