NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is utilized in biological reductions to deliver hydride to an aldehyde or ketone carbonyl group (see Box 7.6). A proton from water is used to complete the process, and the product is thus an alcohol. The reaction is catalysed by an enzyme called a dehydrogenase. The reverse reaction may also be catalysed by the enzyme, namely the oxidation of an alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone. It is this reverse reaction that provides the dehydrogenase nomenclature.

A single enzyme is sometimes capable of many various oxidations. In the presence of NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), cyclohexanone oxygenase from Acinetobacter NCIB9871 converts aldehydes into acids, formates of alcohols, and alcohols ketones into esters (Baeyer-Villiger reaction), phenylboronic acids into phenols sulfides into optically active sulfoxides and selenides into selenoxides [1034], Horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes primary alcohols to acids (esters) [1035] and secondary alcohols to ketones [1036]. Horseradish peroxidase accomplishes the dehydrogenative coupling [1037] and oxidation of phenols to quinones [1038]. Mushroom polyphenol oxidase hydroxylates phenols and oxidizes them to quinones [1039].

Nature makes use of NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) as a cofactor for enantioselective biochemical hydrogenations, which are typical hydride-transfer reactions. Dihydropyridines and benzimidazolines derivatives are active hydride donors due to the presence of the nitrogen atom and the ability of the molecule to undergo aromatisation. Organocatalytic enantioselective reductions carried out using hydride donors has been studied, and effective reductions have been achieved with imidazoli-dinone organocatalysts, both with a,p unsaturated aldehydes and ketones. Generally, a stoichiometric quantity of reductant (Hantzsch ester 4) is required for these transformations (Scheme 18.5).
