Hammett ρ of reactions of MeLi with benzophenones

Relative rates of reactions of MeLi with benzophenones in diethyl ether at 0 °C that furnish methyldiaryl-methanols were determined using slow addition of a MeLi solution to solutions containing an excess of two benzophenones. The additions exhibit a Hammett p of 0.94.

Rhodium(I)/diene-catalyzed addition reactions of arylborons with ketones

Rh(I)/diene-catalyzed addition reactions of arylboroxines/arylboronic acids with unactivated ketones to form tertiary alcohols in good to excellent yields are described. By using C2-symmetric (3aR,6aR)-3,6-diaryl-1,3a,4,6a- tetrahydropentalenes as ligands, the asymmetric version of such an addition reaction, with up to 68% ee, was also realized.

C,O-dilithiated diarylmethanols: Easy and improved preparation by naphthalene-catalysed lithiation of diaryl ketones and reactivity toward electrophiles

The lithiation of different diaryl ketones 1 with an excess of lithium powder and a catalytic amount (8 mol %) of naphthalene in tetradrofuran at -30°C leads to the formation of the corresponding dianions of the type I, with Met=Li, which react with several electrophiles (E+=MeI, EtBr, Pr(i)CHO, PhCHO, cyclohexanone, MeCN) to give, after hydrolysis, the expected substituted diarylmethanols 2.
