Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

Paragraph 0147-0157, (2021/12/07)
The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to a ferrocene derivative metal organic complex and a preparation method and application thereof. The ferrocene derivative metal organic complex disclosed by the invention is shown I, contains a pincerlike ligand in the structure, and therefore has high stability and long service life. , The ferrocene derivative type metal organic complex has high catalytic activity, and only 0.001 μM % - 0.01 μM % is used, so that the chiral compound can be efficiently and rapidly prepared. The ferrocene derivative metal organic complex central metal is ruthenium, the economic cost is low, and the method has the prospect of industrial popularization.

Enzymatic reactions through mononuclear metal hydrides are unknown in nature, despite the prevalence of such intermediates in the reactions of synthetic transition-metal catalysts. If metalloenzymes could react through abiotic intermediates like these, then the scope of enzyme-catalysed reactions would expand. Here we show that zinc-containing carbonic anhydrase enzymes catalyse hydride transfers from silanes to ketones with high enantioselectivity. We report mechanistic data providing strong evidence that the process involves a mononuclear zinc hydride. This work shows that abiotic silanes can act as reducing equivalents in an enzyme-catalysed process and that monomeric hydrides of electropositive metals, which are typically unstable in protic environments, can be catalytic intermediates in enzymatic processes. Overall, this work bridges a gap between the types of transformation in molecular catalysis and biocatalysis. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
