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 novel heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation-hydrogenolysis strategy has been developed for the α-methylation of ketones via enaminones using DMF dimethyl acetal as carbon source. This strategy provides a very convenient route to α-methylated ketones using a variety of ketones without any base or oxidant. (Chemical Equation Presented).

, (2008/06/13)
A process for preparing an hydroxyketone of the formula (X): STR1 wherein Ar represents substituted phenyl, aromatic heterocyclic, or substituted aromatic heterocyclic; R1 and R2 independently represents hydrogen, C-1 to C-16 alkyl, aromatic, substituted aromatic, aromatic heterocyclic, substituted aromatic heterocyclic or C-1 to C-5 alkyl covalently bonded to Ar, with the provision that R1 and R2 are different. The process comprises contacting a compound of the formula (V): STR2 with a solvent, a base and a chiral hydroxylating agent at a temperature of about -85° C. or less. Compounds of the formulae STR3 also are disclosed.
