- Iridium Complexes as Efficient Catalysts for Construction of α-Substituted Ketones via Hydrogen Borrowing of Alcohols in Water
-
Ketones are of great importance in synthesis, biology, and pharmaceuticals. This paper reports an iridium complexes-catalyzed cross-coupling of alcohols via hydrogen borrowing, affording a series of α-alkylated ketones in high yield (86 %–95 %) and chemoselectivities (>99 : 1). This methodology has the advantages of low catalyst loading (0.1 mol%) and environmentally benign water as the solvent. Studies have shown the amount of base has a great impact on chemoselectivities. Meanwhile, deuteration experiments show water plays an important role in accelerating the reduction of the unsaturated ketones intermediates. Remarkably, a gram-scale experiment demonstrates this methodology of iridium-catalyzed cross-coupling of alcohols has potential application in the practical synthesis of α-alkylated ketones.

- A Highly Efficient Dimeric Manganese-Catalyzed Selective Hydroarylation of Internal Alkynes
-
We have developed a general and site-predictable manganese-catalyzed hydroarylation of internal alkynes in the presence of water, under an air atmosphere without the involvement of ligand. The unique catalytic feature of this reaction is highlighted by comparison with other widely used transition metal catalysts including palladium, rhodium, nickel, or copper. The simple operation, high efficiency and excellent functional group compatibility make this protocol practical for more than 90 structurally diverse internal alkynes, overcoming the influence of both electronic and steric effect of alkynes. Its exclusive regio- and chemoselectivity originates from the unique reactivity of the manganese-based catalyst towards an inherent double controlled strategy of sterically hindered propargyl alcohols without the installing of external directing groups. Its synthetic robustness and practicality have been illustrated by the concise synthesis of bervastatin, a hypolipidemic drug, and late-stage modification of complex alkynes with precise regioselectivity.

- A simple synthesis of ketone from carboxylic acid using tosyl chloride as an activator
-
An effective process for the conversion of carboxylic acid to ketone has been discovered. In this process, carboxylic acid has been activated using p-toluene sulphonyl group. Under the optimized condition, aromatic, aliphatic heteroaromatic carboxylic acids have been proved to be good substrates for this methodology. The byproduct of this reaction can be removed very easily during work up process. Also, one equivalent of organometallic reagent is sufficient to complete this transformation.

- Simple one pot synthesis of ketone from carboxylic acid using DCC as an activator
-
Simple one pot procedure for the conversion of carboxylic acid to ketone is described. Various carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding ketones in excellent manner in presence of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and organometallic reagents. Aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic acids were converted to the corresponding ketones smoothly under the optimum conditions using organolithium reagents. In this process, desired products have been isolated from the crude reaction mixtures in moderate yields during the purification process.

- Directed: Ortho-metalation-nucleophilic acyl substitution strategies in deep eutectic solvents: The organolithium base dictates the chemoselectivity
-
Directed ortho metalation (DoM) or nucleophilic acyl substitution (SNAc) can be efficiently programmed on the same aromatic carboxylic acid amide, in a choline chloride-based eutectic mixture, by simply switching the nature of the organolithium reagent. Telescoped, one-pot ortho-lithiation/Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings have also been demonstrated for the first time in Deep Eutectic Solvents.

- Pd-catalyzed Oxidative Cross-coupling of Alkyl Chromium(0) Fischer Carbene Complexes with Organoboronic Acids
-
Alkyl chromium(0) carbene complexes have been explored as the cross-coupling partners in the palladium-catalyzed reaction with aryl or alkenyl boronic acids. This coupling reaction displays the versatile reactivities of alkyl chromium(0) carbenes under palladium catalysis. Mechanistically, this transformation is proposed to involve deprotonation of the alkyl chromium carbene substrate to generate a vinyl chromium anion intermediate that undergoes transmetalation to organopalladium species and reductive elimination.

-
The first phosphine-free heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cross-coupling of aryl halides with triorganoindiums has been developed that proceeds smoothly under 1 or 2.5 atm of carbon monoxide in THF at 68 °C and provides a general and powerful tool for the synthesis of various valuable unsymmetrical ketones with high atom-economy, good yield, and recyclability of the catalyst. Our system not only avoids the use of phosphine ligands, but also solves the basic problem of palladium catalyst recovery and reuse.

The first phosphine-free heterogeneous palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of triorganoindiums with acyl chlorides has been developed that proceeds smoothly in THF at 68 °C and provides a general and powerful tool for the synthesis of various valuable aryl ketones and α,β-acetylenic ketones with high atom-economy and high yield.

- A Palladium Bipyridyl Complex Grafted onto Nanosized MCM-41 as a Heterogeneous Catalyst for Negishi Coupling
-
The Negishi coupling of aryl bromides or acyl chlorides with organozinc chlorides catalyzed by a palladium bipyridyl complex anchored on nanosized mobile crystalline material 41 (MCM-41) were investigated. The reactions proceeded smoothly with a very low catalyst loading in THF at 70°C for electron-deficient aryl bromides, which gave good to high yields of the Negishi coupling products. However, reactions in toluene at 110°C were required if electron-rich aryl bromides were employed. For acyl chlorides, the reactions could be performed in THF at 50°C and the corresponding ketones and ynones were obtained in high yields. After centrifugation, it was possible to easily recover the supported catalyst from the reaction mixture, and this could be reused several times without any retreatment or regeneration with only a slight decrease in activity.

- Cyanocuprates convert carboxylic acids directly into ketones
-
Carboxylic acids were converted directly in 56-99% yields into methyl, n-butyl, and isopropyl ketones using excess cyanocuprates R2CuLi 3 LiCN. A substrate with a stereocenter α to the carboxylic acid was converted into ketones with very little loss of enantiomeric purity. A variety of functional groups were tolerated including aryl bromides. This direct transformation of a carboxylic acid into ketone with minimal tertiary alcohol formation is proposed to involve a relatively stable copper ketal tetrahedral intermediate.

Altogether 15 alcohols have been oxidized, in the absence of organic solvent, in excellent yields. Benzyl halides are also oxidized by H2O 2 in water catalyzed by oxodiperoxovanadate and a phase transfer catalyst into aromatic aldehydes and ketones (see scheme). This reaction is the first green oxidation of benzyl halides.

Highly reactive zinc, prepared by the lithium naphthalenide reduction of ZnCl2, readily undergoes oxidative addition to alkyl, aryl, and vinyl halides under mild conditions to generate the corresponding organozinc compounds in excellent yields.Significantly, the reaction will tolerate a spectrum of functional groups on the organic halides.Accordingly, this approach can now be used to prepare a wide variety of highly functionalized organozinc compounds.In the presence of Cu(I) salts, the organozinc compounds cross-couple with acid chlorides, conjugatively add to α,β-unsaturated ketones, and regioselectively undergo SN2' substitution reactions with allylic halides.They also cross-couple with aryl or vinyl halides with Pd(0) catalysts.
