Among the aromatic carbocyclic rings, the highly regio- and enantioselective hydrogenation of nonsymmetrical naphthalenes has remained a long-standing challenge in asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we reporte an amide-directed asymmetric hydrogenation of nonsymmetrical naphthalenes with a ruthenium catalyst with up to 99% ee. This strategy was also successfully applied in the asymmetric hydrogenation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, CHFNSe·Cl, contains one planar 4-fluoro-benzo[][1,2,5]selena-diazol-1-ium mol-ecular cation and a chloride anion. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the 4-fluoro-benzo[][1,2,5]selena-diazol-1-ium mol-ecules, which are arranged in parallel layers along (104), to the chloride anions. The cationic layers, in turn, are stacked along [001].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Co(CHO)(HO)]·2CHNO} or {[Co(Hdondc)(HO)]·2DMF} , comprises half of a Co ion, half of a 1,5-di-hydroxy-naphthalene-2,6-di-carboxyl-ate dianion (Hdondc), two water mol-ecules and a di-methyl-formamide (DMF) mol-ecule. The Co ion, which is located on a crystallographic inversion center, exhibits a distorted six-coord-inated octa-hedral geometry with two oxygen atoms of the Hdondc ligand and four oxygen atoms of the water mol-ecules. The carboxyl-ate group is almost coplanar with the naphthalene moiety and shows monodentate coordination to the Co ion.

A new cobalt complex, bis-[tris-(amino-thio-urea)cobalt(III)] bis-[2-(carb-oxy-methyl)-2-hy-droxy-butane-dioato]cobalt(II) tetra-nitrate tetra-hydrate, [Co(CHNS)][Co(CHO)](NO)·2HO, designated as [Co(tsc)][Co(cit)](NO)·4HO, was synthesized. Two crystallographically independent cobalt centers are present. In the first, the central metal atom is chelated by three thio-semicarbazide ligands in a bidentate fashion whereas the second, positioned on a crystallographic inversion center, is hexa-coordinated by two citrate anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry.

The asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of cyclic -alkyl imines offers an elegant and efficient method to afford chiral amines, especially for -nicotine and its derivatives. However, this approach remains an ongoing challenge due to undesirable coordination of pyridyl-containing substrates to the active metal catalyst. Herein, we disclose a manganese-catalyzed AH that allows access to -nicotine and other chiral α-(hetero)aryl pyrrolidines and provides an example of a base-metal catalyst that displays superior performance to its noble metal counterparts.

The asymmetric -selective hydrogenation of arenes has long been a significant challenge. In this work, we were able to control the / selectivity in ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,3-disubstituted quinoxalines by varying the catalyst counteranion. Using density functional theory calculations, we investigated the weak interactions─such as CH/π and hydrogen bonding─among the counteranion, the catalyst framework, and the substrate, elucidating the fundamental influence of counteranions on / selectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of quinoxalines.
