We report an enantioselective Henry (nitroaldol) reaction catalysed by an organocatalyst using water as solvent. The enantioselective synthesis of β-nitroalcohols was achieved by using a neutral chiral organocatalyst, through strong hydrogen bonding, which results in the formation of corresponding products in excellent yield and enantioselectivity at room temperature. Other attractive features of the method are the eco-friendly, non-hazardous, and mild reaction conditions, inexpensive catalyst, and simple work up conditions.

AbstractA clandestine two-step route to psychoactive racemic phenylalkylamines utilises the Henry reaction. In the first step an aromatic aldehyde reacts with a nitroalkane to give the nitrostyrene intermediate. In the second step the nitrostyrene is reduced to the phenylalkylamine. An impurity profile of both steps was evaluated through the synthesis and analysis of common street derivatives. The formation of nitrile impurities in the nitroaldol reaction and hydroxylamine impurities in the reduction step were shown by NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS. A selection of reducing agents has been used to give the phenylalkylamines, together with variable quantities of the partially reduced hydroxylamine product. GC-MS analysis of the hydroxylamines showed heat-induced disproportionation which led to the detection of the corresponding oximes.

In this perspective article we give an overview of our studies of C–H activation with platinum over the past decade. The scorpionate ligand Tp′ (Tp′ = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) has exhibited the ability to stabilize both Pt(IV) and Pt(II) complexes due to flexibility between κ3 and κ2 binding modes. Control of the Tp′ coordination mode and Pt oxidation state is tightly coupled with acid/base chemistry. This ability allowed us to model a spectrum of intermediates in C–H activation reactions, including Pt(IV) alkyl hydrides, five-coordinate Pt(IV) silyl hydrides, and Pt(II) benzene complexes. We have been able to observe sturdy Pt(II) benzene complexes and probe their equilibria with the respective C–H activated Pt(IV) species in the presence of an added ligand. We have also taken steps toward functionalizing hydrocarbons with Tp′Pt by dehydrogenation of alkanes and by arylation of olefins. We have recently turned to bidentate nacnac (nacnac = N-phenyl-β-enamineimine) ligands in the hopes of catalytically functionalizing hydrocarbons.Key words: C–H activation, reductive elimination, Tp′Pt, five-coordinate, β-diiminate.
