Novel chiral cobalt complex a containing amine(imine)diphosphine PN(H)NP ligand and complex b containing bis(amine)diphosphine PN(H)N(H)P ligand were synthesized. The structures of two complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography and high resolution mass spectrometry. The catalytic performances of cobalt complexes a and b for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones under mild conditions were evaluated using 2-propanolisopropanol as solvent and hydrogen source after being activated by 8 equivalents of base. Complex a showed a good reactivity for reduction of ketones, with a turnover number (TON) of up to 555, and a maximum enantiomeric excess (ee) value of up to 91 %. Complex b exhibited inertness for hydrogenation of ketones. Electronic structure studies on a and b were conducted to account for the function of ligands on the catalytic performances.

I-interacting ligands of the diphosphino amido-ene(amido) type are effective in activating iron to resemble the properties of precious metals in the catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones. To further verify the effectiveness of the ene(amido) group, we synthesized four amine(imine) diphosphine iron precatalyst complexes with substituents at α and β positions relative to imino groups (1-3) or with enlarged chelate ring sizes (5,5,6-membered rings) (4). In comparison with the parent trans-(R,R)-[Fe(CO)(Cl)(PPh2CH2CHaNCHPhCHPhNHCH2CH2PPh2)]BF4 (I), the introduction of a methyl group in 1 and 2 reduced the catalytic activity but led to undiminished enantioselectivity as reaction proceeded. In comparison to the iron complexes 1-3 with a 5,5,5-coordination geometry, the complex 4 derived from the new (R,R)-P-NH-NH2 tridentate ligand showed high reactivity comparable to that of I but was unfortunately not enantioselective. The catalytic reactivity of 1, 2, and 4 illustrates the effectiveness of the ene(amido) group. An electronic structure study on the important catalytic intermediate amido-ene(amido) complex 1b proved that iron was activated by an additional I-back-donation-interaction ligand to participate in the traditional metal-ligand bifunctional pathway in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions.

Asymmetric catalytic reactions are among the most convenient and environmentally benign methods to obtain optically pure compounds. The aim of this study was to develop a green system for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, applying chiral Ru catalyst in aqueous media and mechanochemical energy transmission. Using a ball mill we have optimized the milling parameters in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone followed by reduction of various substituted derivatives. The scope of the method was extended to carbo- and heterocyclic ketones. The scale-up of the developed system was successful, the optically enriched alcohols could be obtained in high yields. The developed mechanochemical system provides TOFs up to 168 h?1. Our present study is the first in which mechanochemically activated enantioselective transfer hydrogenations were carried out, thus, may be a useful guide for the practical synthesis of optically pure chiral secondary alcohols.
