Asymmetric hydrogenations are among the most practical methods for the synthesis of chiral building blocks at industrial scale. The selective reduction of an oxime to the corresponding chiral hydroxylamine derivative remains a challenging variant because of undesired cleavage of the weak nitrogen-oxygen bond. We report a robust cyclometalated iridium(III) complex bearing a chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand as an efficient catalyst for this reaction operating under highly acidic conditions. Valuable N-alkoxy amines can be accessed at room temperature with nondetected overreduction of the N‒O bond. Catalyst turnover numbers up to 4000 and enantiomeric ratios up to 98:2 are observed. The findings serve as a blueprint for the development of metal-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenations of challenging substrates.

Aim and Objective: In the present work, 1, 1’-sulfinyldiethylammonium bis (hydrogen sulfate) as a novel room temperature dicationic ionic liquid was synthesized and used as a catalyst for xanthenediones synthesis. Material and Method: The dicationic ionic liquid has been synthesized using ethylamine and thionyl chloride as precursors. Then, by the reaction of [(EtNH2)2SO]Cl2 with H2SO4, [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2 was prepared and after that, it was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR as well as Hammett acidity function. This dicationic ionic liquid was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of xanthenediones via condensation of structurally diverse aldehydes and dimedone under solvent-free conditions. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane = 3/7). Results: An efficient solvent-free method for the synthesis of xanthenediones has been developed in the presence of [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2 as a powerful catalyst with high to excellent yields, and short reaction times. Additionally, recycling studies have demonstrated that the dicationic ionic liquid can be readily recovered and reused at least four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. Conclusion: This new dicationic ionic liquid can act as a highly efficient catalyst for xanthenediones synthesis under solvent-free conditions.

: Hypervalent iodine reagents are a class of non-metallic oxidants have been widely used in the construction of several sorts of bond formations. This surging interest in hypervalent iodine reagents is essentially due to their very useful oxidizing properties, combined with their benign environmental character and commercial availability from the past few decades ago. Furthermore, these hypervalent iodine reagents have been used in the construction of many significant building blocks and privileged scaffolds of bioactive natural products. The purpose of writing this review article is to explore all the transformations in which carbon-oxygen bond formation occurred by using hypervalent iodine reagents under metal-free conditions

The easily available pyrido[1,2-a]pyrazines of type 1 are versatile building blocks for ring transformation reactions.W ith heterocyclic quinones such as quinoline-2,5,8-triones 4a-c, a highly regioselective [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction takes place in the first step, followed by a ring transformation cascade.T he 1,6-diazaanthracene-2,9,10-triones 5a-e, which possess an additional bipyridine substructure, could be isolated as main products.In order to modify the starting products of type 1, a metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with acetylenic benzoic esters 9a,b has been performed.T he modified pyridopyrazines 10a,b which were obtained in good yields could be transformed by analogy to 1a,b into ring-fused heterocyclic quinones 12a,b.

Palladium nanoparticles were efficiently prepared in situ by sodium cyanoborohydride reduction of Pd(ii) at room temperature using calcium-cholate hydrogel fibers as templates. The PdNPs self-organize on the gel fibers, which supports the controlled growth as well as stabilization of PdNPs. The hybrid xerogel was used as an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki coupling reaction in water.
