A versatile method for the hydromethylation and hydroalkylation of alkenes at room temperature is achieved by using the photooxidative redox capacity of the valence band of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2). Mechanistic studies support a radical-based mechanism involving the photoexcitation of TiO2 with 390 nm light in the presence of acetic acid and other carboxylic acids to generate methyl and alkyl radicals, respectively, without the need for stoichiometric base. This protocol is accepting of a broad scope of alkene and carboxylic acids, including challenging ones that produce highly reactive primary alkyl radicals and those containing functional groups that are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution such as alkyl halides. This methodology highlights the utility of using heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO2 for promoting challenging organic syntheses that rely on highly reactive intermediates.

A Pd-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of mono- and disubstituted pyridines was developed. The substituted pyridines were obtained from ketones or an aldehyde and 1,3-diaminopropane using a combination of catalytic Pd(OAc)2 and Cu(OAc)2. High-concentration reaction conditions enabled this catalytic reaction to be acid-free.

2-Hydroxymethylpyridines undergo nickel-catalyzed hydrogenolysis upon activation with a chlorophosphate. Reactions employ diethylzinc and are proposed to proceed through secondary benzylzinc reagents. Quenching with deuteromethanol provides straightforward incorporation of a deuterium label in the benzylic position. Intramolecular conjugate additions with α,β-unsaturated esters are also demonstrated and support the intermediacy of a benzylzinc complex.
