A cobalt-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of β,β-dialkyl α,β-unsaturated esters with polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) was reported to deliver the corresponding esters containing a chiral trialkyl carbon center at β-position with up to 97 % yield and 98 % ee. The chiral tridentate ligand oxazoline iminopyridine (OIP) could perform well for the asymmetric reduction instead of chiral bidentate ligands. This operationally simple protocol shows a broad scope of substrates using one equivalent of readily available PMHS as a cheap and easy-to-handle reductive reagent.

Herein, we describe a visible light-promoted hydroacylation strategy that facilitates the preparation of ketones from alkenes and 4-acyl-1,4-dihydropyridines via an acyl radical addition and hydrogen atom transfer pathway under photocatalyst-free conditions. The efficiency was highlighted by wide substrate scope, good to high yields, successful scale-up experiments, and expedient preparation of highly functionalized ketone derivatives. In addition, this protocol allows for the synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds through alkene diacylation in the presence of NiCl2·DME.

While ketones are among the most versatile functional groups, their synthesis remains reliant upon reactive and low-abundance starting materials. In contrast, amide formation is the most-used bond-construction method in medicinal chemistry because the che
