A Rh(I)-catalyzed ketone Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of benzylacetone with arylboronic acid is developed. Selective C(O)-C bond activation, which employs aminopyridine as a temporary directing group and ethyl vinyl ketone as a hydride acceptor, occurs on the alkyl chain containing a β-position hydrogen. A series of acetophenone products were obtained in yields up to 75%.

Hydration of alkynes to ketones is one of the most atom economical and universal methods for the synthesis of carbonyl compounds. However, the basic reaction usually requires organic ligand catalysts or harsh reaction conditions to insert oxygen into the C≡C bond. Here, we report an inorganic ligand supported cobalt (III) catalyst, (NH4)3[CoMo6O18(OH)6], which is supported by a central cobalt (III) mononucleus and a ring-shaped pure inorganic ligand composed of six MoVIO6 octahedrons to avoid the disadvantages of expensive and unrecyclable organic ligand catalysts or noble metal catalysts. Under mild conditions, the cobalt (III) catalyst can be used for the hydration of alkynes to ketones. The catalyst is non-toxic, green, and environment friendly. The catalyst can be recycled at least six times with high activity. According to control experiments, a reasonable mechanism is provided.

Bismuth subnitrate is reported herein as a simple and efficient catalyst for the atom-economical synthesis of methyl ketones via Markovnikov-type alkyne hydration. Besides an effective batch process under reasonably mild conditions, a chemically intensified continuous flow protocol was also developed in a packed-bed system. The applicability of the methodologies was demonstrated through hydration of a diverse set of terminal acetylenes. By simply switching the reaction medium from methanol to methanol-d4, valuable trideuteromethyl ketones were also prepared. Due to the ready availability and nontoxicity of the heterogeneous catalyst, which eliminated the need for any special additives and/or harmful reagents, the presented processes display significant advances in terms of practicality and sustainability.

A one-pot chemoenzymatic sequential cascade for the synthesis of chiral amines from alkynes was developed. In this integrated approach, just ppm amounts of gold catalysts enabled the conversion of alkynes to ketones (>99%) after which a transaminase was used to catalyze the production of biologically valuable chiral amines in a good yield (up to 99%) and enantiomeric excess (>99%). A preparative scale synthesis of (S)-methylbenzylamine and (S)-4-methoxy-methylbenzylamine from its alkyne form gave a yield of 59 and 92%, respectively, withee> 99%.

A site-specific oxidation of (sp3)C-C(sp3) and (sp3)C-H bonds in aryl alkanes by the use of NaNO2/HCl was explored. The method is chemical-oxidant-free, transition-metal-free, uses water as the solvent, and proceeds under mild conditions, making it valuable and attractive to synthetic organic chemistry.

A selective electrochemical oxidation was developed under mild condition. Various mono-carbonyl and multi-carbonyl compounds can be prepared from different aromatic hydrocarbons with moderate to excellent yield and selectivity by virtue of this electrochemical oxidation. The produced carbonyl compounds can be further transformed into α-ketoamides, homoallylic alcohols and oximes in a one-pot reaction. In particular, a series of α-ketoamides were prepared in a one-pot continuous electrolysis. Mechanistic studies showed that 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) can interact with catalyst species and generate the corresponding hydrogen-bonding complex to enhance the electrochemical oxidation performance.

An efficient electrochemical method for benzylic C(sp3)-H bond oxidation has been developed. A variety of methylarenes, methylheteroarenes, and benzylic (hetero)methylenes could be converted into the desired aryl aldehydes and aryl ketones in moderate to excellent yields in an undivided cell, using O2 as the oxygen source and lutidinium perchlorate as an electrolyte. On the basis of cyclic voltammetry studies, 18O labeling experiments, and radical trapping experiments, a possible single-electron transfer mechanism has been proposed for the electrooxidation reaction.

An efficient and practical benzylic aerobic oxidation catalyzed by cheap and simple N-hydroxyimide organocatalyst has been achieved with high yields and broad substrate scope. The organocatalyst used can be recycled and reused by simple workup and only minute amount (1 mol% in most cases) of simple iron salt is used as promoter. Phenyl substrates with mild and strong electron-withdrawing group could also be oxygenated in high yields as well as other benzylic methylenes. Influence of substituents, gram-scale application, catalysts decay and general mechanism of this methodology has also been discussed. This journal is

With the increasing attention for green chemistry and sustainable development, there has been much interest in searching for greener methods and sources in organic synthesis. However, toxic additives or solvents are inevitably involved in most organic transformations. Herein, we first report the combination of direct utilization of solar energy, air as the oxidant and water as the solvent for the selective cleavage of CC double bonds in aryl olefins. Various α-methyl styrenes, diaryl alkenes as well as terminal styrenes are well tolerated in this green and sustainable strategy and furnished the desired carbonyl products in satisfactory yields. Like heterogeneous catalysis, this homogeneous catalytic system could also be reused and it retains good activity even after repeating three times. Mechanism investigations indicated that both O2- and 1O2 were involved in the reaction. Based on these results, two possible mechanisms, including the electron transfer pathway and the energy transfer pathway, were proposed.
