An efficient and mild method for the synthesis of α-halomethyl ketones from α-diazo ketones was developed using ferric chloride or bromide as the halogen source and silica gel as the hydrogen source, with good to excellent yields.

Direct conversion of primary and secondary alcohols into the corresponding α-chloro aldehydes and α-chloro ketones using trichloroisocyanuric acid, serving both as stoichiometric oxidant and α-halogenating reagent, is reported. For primary alcohols, TEMPO has to be added as an oxidation catalyst, and for the transformation of secondary alcohols (TEMPO-free protocol), MeOH as an additive is essential to promote chlorination of the intermediary ketones.
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of enantiomerically pure terminal 1,2-diols

A new practical method for the enzymatic synthesis of 1,2-diols has been developed by employing a lipase catalyzed one-pot transesterification protocol. A series of substituted α-acetoxyphenylethanones 3a-g have been reduced to the corresponding alcohols under mild conditions employing sodium borohydride and moist neutral alumina, and further subjected for lipase catalyzed irreversible transesterification in the same pot to give mono- and diacetate diols (R)-4 and (S)-5, which on hydrolysis afforded terminal 1,2-diols, (R)- and (S)-6 in high enantiomeric excess.
