supporting information, p. 18323 - 18326 (2014/01/06)
The direct β-coupling of cyclic ketones with aryl ketones has been achieved via the synergistic combination of photoredox catalysis and organocatalysis. Diaryl oxymethyl or aryl-alkyl oxymethyl radicals, transiently generated via single-electron reduction
Ytterbium Metal Mediated Synthesis of Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Pinacols from Carbonyl Compounds
Hou, Zhaomin,Takamine, Kan,Fujiwara, Yuzo,Taniguchi, Hiroshi
, p. 2061 - 2064 (2007/10/02)
Reaction of aromatic aldehydes and ketones with ytterbium metal gives the corresponding pinacols in high yields.Cross-coupling reaction of benzophenone with other carbonyl compounds to produce unsymmetrical pinacols is also described.
