A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

The discrimination of a fluorine atom from a hydrogen atom has been challenging in asymmetric catalysis. We herein report iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of α-fluoro ketones using a strategy of dynamic kinetic resolution. Both enantiomeric and diastereomeric selectivities were satisfactory in the preparation of β-fluoro alcohols. The DFT calculation revealed a C-F···Na charge-dipole interaction in the transition state of hydride transfer. This noncovalent interaction would be responsible for the diastereomeric control.
Catalyst-Free Photodriven Reduction of α-Haloketones with Hantzsch Ester

, p. 508 - 515 (2019/01/10)
Catalyst-free dehalogenation of α-haloketones under visible light irradiation is studied. The reactions were carried out in common organic solvent. The outcomes of dechlorination are excellent in yields up to 92%, and it is also applicable to bromides, which give even higher yields. The reaction is tolerable to a broad spectrum of substrates, especially to aromatic ketones, including various aryl and hetaryl groups. There are two examples of aliphatic ketones presented in the paper, although their reactivities are not as high as that of the aromatic ketones.
