Addition of Per(poly)fluoroalkyl Iodides to vinyl Cyclopropane Derivatives: Synthesis of Fluoroalkyl Substituted γ,δ-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

In the presence of CrC13 /Fe bimetal couple,per(poly)fluoroalkyl iodides add to vinyl cyclopropane compounds giving addition-ring-opening products in good yields.

Selectivity of Organosamarium(Ⅲ) Hydride in Reducing Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

The selectivity of organosamarium(Ⅲ) hydride in reducing unsaturated carbonyl compounds has been studied. Dimeric organosamarium hydride[(C_9H_7)_2SmH]_2·4THF·NaCl prepared by the reaction of (C_9H_7)_2SmCl·2THF with NaH in THF reacts with unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding reduction products with a high selectivity. The carbonyl groups have been reduced while the carbon-carbon double bonds are not affected.

Solid-phase Synthesis of Unsaturated β-Dicarbonyl Compounds from Polymer-supported 4-(Phenylseleno)morpholine

The solid-phase synthesis of unsaturated ?dicarbonyl compounds has been reported.

Engineering electrophilic atomic Ir sites on CeO_(2) colloidal spheres for selectivity control in hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

Selective hydrogenation of the carbonyl bond inα,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is rather challenging owing to the more feasible hydrogenation of ethylenic bond from both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects.Here,we demonstrate a facile emulsionbased molecule-nanoparticle self-assembly strategy for the atomic engineering of Ir species on three-dimensional CeO_(2)spheres(Ir1@CeO_(2)).When applied to the hydrogenation ofα,β-unsaturated aldehydes,Ir1@CeO_(2)catalyst remarkably exhibited~100%selectivity towards unsaturated alcohols,whereas the formation of Ir nanoparticles on CeO_(2)drastically decreased the selectivity for unsaturated alcohols.Spectroscopic studies revealed that strong metal-support interactions triggered the charge transfer from Ir to CeO_(2),leading to the partial reduction of Ce^(4+)to Ce^(3+)along with the formation new Ir^(δ+)-O_(2)--Ce^(3+)(OV)interfaces.The electrophilic atomic Ir species at the Ir^(δ+)-O_(2)--Ce^(3+)(OV)interfaces would therefore preferentially adsorb and facilitate hydrogenation of polar C=O bond to achieve exceptional selectivity.
