We report the first example of employing homogeneous organometal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation for the selective reductive amination of furfurals to furfurylamines. An efficient, chemoselective, and base-free method is described using Ru-MACHO-BH as catalyst and iPrOH as H donor. The method tolerates a range of substituents affording moderate to excellent yields.

Inspired by the active site structures of lactate racemase and recently reported sulphur–carbon–sulphur (SCS) nickel pincer complexes, a series of scorpion-like SCS nickel pincer complexes with an imidazole tail and asymmetric claws was proposed and examined computationally as potential catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of 1-acetonaphthone. Density functional theory calculations reveal a proton-coupled hydride transfer mechanism for the dehydrogenation of (R)-(+)-1-phenyl-ethanol and the hydrogenation of 1-acetonaphthone to produce (R)-(+)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol and (S)-(−)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol. Among all proposed Ni complexes, 1Ph is the most active one with a rather low free energy barrier of 24 kcal/mol and high enantioselectivity of near 99% enantiomeric excess (ee) for the hydrogenation of prochiral ketones to chiral alcohols.
