Photocatalytic Dehydroxymethylative Arylation by Synergistic Cerium and Nickel Catalysis

10.1021/jacs.1c00618

The study explores a novel method for the photocatalytic dehydroxymethylative arylation of free alcohols using cerium and nickel catalysts. The researchers utilized cerium trichloride and benzoate ligands to form a cerium complex that, in conjunction with nickel chloride and a bipyridine-type ligand, enabled the selective cleavage of the α-C(sp3)?C(sp3) bond in alcohols under mild reaction conditions. The process involves the conversion of alcohols into nucleophilic alkyl radicals via cerium?LMCT catalysis, which are then intercepted by a nickel cross-coupling cycle, resulting in the formation of C(sp3)?C(sp2) bonds with the extrusion of formaldehyde. The study identified a tribenzoate cerium(III) complex as a viable intermediate and demonstrated the reaction's broad applicability with various primary alcohols and aromatic halides. The findings highlight a new paradigm for sustainable synthesis using abundant and economical metals, showcasing the potential of cerium in photocatalysis and the synergy between cerium and nickel catalysis.

Preparation of a microsized cerium chloride-based catalyst and its application in the Michael addition of β-diketones to vinyl ketones

10.1039/c3nj01454a

Cerium chloride (CeCl3) plays a pivotal role as a catalyst in the Michael addition reaction. The research aims to develop an efficient and easily reproducible method for preparing a microsized cerium chloride-based catalyst and to investigate its application in the Michael addition reaction of ?-diketones to vinyl ketones. The study found that the catalytic activity of cerium chloride is significantly influenced by its preparation method. The researchers developed a simple procedure involving thermal treatment of CeCl3×7H2O or evaporation of its alcoholic solutions to produce microsized cerium chloride. This catalyst demonstrated high efficiency in the Michael addition, yielding ?,d-triketones with up to 89% yield. The study concluded that the structure and surface area of the catalyst, rather than its composition, are the primary factors affecting its catalytic activity. The findings suggest that this method of catalyst preparation can be widely applied in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving organocerium reagents.

SOME CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS OF PUMMERER'S KETONE

10.1016/S0040-4020(01)92063-0

The research aimed to explore chemical transformations of Pummerer's Ketone to synthesize molecules with simplified morphine structures, potentially leading to the development of analgesics with improved properties. The study focused on converting Pummerer's Ketone into compounds with nitrogen-bearing functions at the C-4 position, thereby approximating the morphine skeleton. The study concluded that certain conditions, such as the use of cerous chloride with NaBH4, could influence the selectivity of the reduction process. Additionally, the addition of N,N-diethylaminopropyne provided a successful route to introduce a nitrogen atom into the molecule, leading to the formation of an amide.
