Due to the high reactivity of alkoxyl (RO·) radicals and their propensity to easily undergo β-scission or Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT) reactions, intermolecular alkoxylations involving RO· radicals are barely described. We report herein for the first time the efficient intermolecular trapping of alkoxyl radicals by silyl enol ethers. This photoredox-mediated protocol enables the introduction of both structurally simple and more complex alkoxy groups into a wide range of ketones and amides.

A convenient method to prepare α-alkoxy ketones has been developed by oxidative coupling of aryl methyl ketones and alcohols. With aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide (6.0 equiv.) as the oxidant, tetrabutylammonium iodide (20 mol-%) as the catalyst, and TsNHNH2(1.0 equiv.) as the additive, ketones underwent direct alkoxylation to give α-methoxy or α-ethoxy ketones in moderate to good yields.

The reaction of PhCOCH2Br and NaOMe in MeOH gave PhCOCH 2OH as the major product and PhCOCH2OMe as the minor product. Substituent effects on the reactivity and product selectivity revealed that an electron-withdrawing substituent on the phenyl ring enhanced the overall reactivity and gave more alcohol than ether. It was indicated that the alcohol was formed via carbonyl addition-epoxidation, whereas the ether was formed by direct substitution. Substituent effects on the reaction rates, as well as the effects of NaOMe concentration on the rate and product ratio for both reactions of PhCOCH2Br and PhCOCH2CI are in line with the mechanism that the alcohol and ether products were formed via two independent and concurrent routes, carbonyl addition and a-carbon attack, respectively, and thus the reaction mechanism could be different from the bifurcation mechanism previously predicted for the reaction of PhCOCH2Br by a simulation study in the gas phase.
