Mechanistic aspects of transition metal-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions.
TL;DR: In this tutorial review recent mechanistic studies on transition metal-catalyzed hydrogen transfer reactions are discussed and an important question is whether the substrate coordinates to the metal (inner-sphere hydrogen transfer) or if there is a direct concerted transfer of hydrogen from the metal to substrate (outer-spheres hydrogen transfer).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ru(arene)(amino alcohol)-Catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones: Mechanism and Origin of Enantioselectivity
TL;DR: The mechanism of the Ru(arene)(amino alcohol)-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of ketones using isopropyl alcohol as the hydrogen source has been studied by means of hybrid density functional methods as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Studies of Copper-Catalyzed Alkene Aziridination
TL;DR: The mechanism of the copper-catalyzed aziridination of alkenes using [N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane (PhINTs) as the nitrene source has been elucidated by a combination of hybrid density as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Insights into the Phosphine-Free RuCp*-Diamine-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Aryl Ketones: Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for an Alcohol-Mediated Dihydrogen Activation
TL;DR: A significantly lower activation barrier for the alcohol-mediated split of dihydrogen, as compared to the nonalcohol-mediated process, a finding of utmost implication also for the diphosphine/diamine-mediated enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric hydrogenation of trisubstituted olefins with iridium-phosphine thiazole complexes: a further investigation of the ligand structure.
TL;DR: It was found that a six-member-ring backbone of the rigid ligand structure was preferred over seven- or five-member rings, and good to excellent enantioselectivity can be obtained for typically difficult substrates.
