  • Reactions of alkenes and alkynes with thexylhaloborane-methyl sulfide (ThxBHX${\cdot}$SMe$_2$, X= Cl, Br, I) were investigated in detail in order to elucidate the effect of halogen substituent in thexylborane and hence establish their usefulness as hydroborating agent. The reagents readily hydroborated alkenes at $50^{circ}C$and alkynes at $25^{circ}C$ in exceptional regioselectivity. Especially, the selectivity achieved by the bromo and iodo derivative reaches essentially 100%. In addition to that, $ThxBHX{\cdot}SMe_2$ was applied to the reduction of cyclic ketones to examine its stereoselectivity. The halogen substituent in thexylborane plays an important role in the stereoselective reduction. The stereoselectivity increased dramatically with increasing steric size of the substituent. Finally, the iodo derivative achieved highly stereoselective reduction, such selectivity being comparable to that previously achieved with trialkylborohydrides.

  • The efficiency of a heterogeneous ruthenium zirconia catalyst ($Ru(OH)_x/ZrO_2$) was demonstrated to the selective oxidative transformation of alkenes or alkynes. The scissions of C-C double bonds to aldehydes and triple bonds to diketones or carboxylic acids were carried out with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene as an oxidant under dichloromethane (5 mL)/water (0.5 mL) solvent system at $30^{\circ}C$ for wide range of substrates. The $Ru(OH)_x/ZrO_2$composite showed higher catalytic activity and selectivity than other ruthenium-based homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts for the scission reaction. The catalyst exhibited a high mechanical stability, and no leaching of the metal was observed during the reaction. These features ensured the reusability of the catalyst for several times for the oxidative cleavage of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
