The utility of acylals as building blocks for selective cross-benzoin synthesis was explored in this study. The synthesis of α-acetoxyketones (O-acyl cross-benzoins) was achieved via selective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed cross-benzoin reactions using acylals as aldehyde equivalents. Thus, the combination of ortho-substituted phenyl acylals and aromatic/aliphatic aldehydes as coupling substrates using bicyclic triazolium salts as precatalysts and potassium carbonate as a base in THF at reflux temperature selectively yielded O-acyl cross-benzoins.

C-O σ-bonds in multifaceted benzoin derivatives can be effectively cleaved as acetates using catalytic amounts of [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as photoredox catalyst in combination with Hantzsch ester and triethylamine as a sacrificial electron donor. This mild and operationally simple method is applicable to a great variety of substrates. Homo- and cross-benzoins, which are easily accessed by NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) catalysis, with both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, including aryl halogenides, can be employed. The deoxygenated counterparts are isolated in good to excellent yields. These broadly accessible, α-substituted (nonsymmetric) aryl ketones are versatilely applicable for further transformations as illustrated by the syntheses of 2-arylbenzofurans.

The reaction of cinnamic acids with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene in 1,2-dichloroethane in the presence of sulfuric acid provides an easy and direct access to the α-keto diacetate framework. This hypervalent iodine mediated oxidative reaction involves a tandem sequence of aryl migration, insertion of an oxygen atom, decarboxylation and diacetoxylation. A reaction mechanism is proposed and discussed in light of control experiments.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Neutral organic electron-donor 7, formally a pyridinylidene carbene dimer, effects reductive cleavage of C-O σ-bonds in acyloin derivatives Ar(CO)CRR′OX (X = OAc, OPiv, OBz, OMs) and this represents the first cleavage of C-O σ-bonds by a neutral organic electron-donor. The methodology is applicable to a large array of substrates and the reduced counterparts were isolated in good to excellent yields. For certain substrates, donor 7 behaves as a base, effecting condensation reactions with some acetate ester derivatives of acyloins, leading to butenolides. The variation in reactivity among the different substrates was rationalized. 2009 American Chemical Society.
