We report a novel strategy to prepare valuable nitriles and ketones through the conversion of esters under metal-free conditions. By using the I2/PCl3 system, various substrates including aliphatic and aromatic esters could react with acetonitrile and arenes to afford the desired products in good to excellent yields. This method is compatible with a number of functional groups and provides a simple and practical approach for the synthesis of nitrile compounds and aryl ketones.

Herein, we report a new protocol for the synthesis of sterically hindered ketones that proceeds via palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of unconventional amide electrophiles by selective N-C(O) activation. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that steric bulk on the amide has a major impact, which is opposite to the traditional Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of sterically hindered aryl halides. Structural and computational studies provide insight into ground-state distortion of sterically hindered amides and show that ortho-substitution alleviates the N-C(O) bond twist.
Selective synthetic routes to sterically hindered unsymmetrical diaryl ketones via arylstannanes

Bulky arylstannanes and bulky aroyl chlorides are good reaction partners for the synthesis of two-, three-, and even four-ortho-substituted benzophenones, in good to excellent isolated yields (47-91%). Three simple and direct routes, with differential advantages, are proposed: (i) a catalyst-free protocol, in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) at 180 °C; (ii) a room temperature protocol, using AlCl3 (0.5 equiv), in dichloromethane (DCM); and (iii) a solvent-free, indium-promoted procedure. A radical mechanism is proposed for the indium-mediated reactions.2011 American Chemical Society.
