supporting information, p. 4861 - 4864 (2021/09/22)
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.
B(C6F5)3-Catalyzed Diastereoselective Formal (4 + 1)-Cycloaddition of Vinylcyclopropanes and Et2SiH2

A formal (4 + 1)-cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes and Et2SiH2 to afford 3,4-disubstituted silolanes is reported. The reaction sequence commences with the known B(C6F5)3-catalyzed alkene hydrosilylation with dihydrosilanes. Cleavage of the remaining Si-H bond in the hydrosilylation product assisted by B(C6F5)3 leads to formation of a cyclopropane-stabilized silylium ion. The activated cyclopropane ring is then opened by the in situ-generated borohydride accompanied by ring closure to the silolane. The diastereoselectivity is rationalized by a mechanistic model.

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

Paragraph 0142-0146, (2020/08/22)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing alpha-alkylated ketone in water. The method comprises the following steps: adding ketone, compound alcohol, a transition metal iridium catalyst, an alkali and a solvent, namely water into a reaction container, carrying out a reflux reaction on a reaction mixture in the air for several hours, carrying out cooling to room temperature, carrying out rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and carrying out column separation (ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to obtain a target compound, namely alpha-alkylated ketone. A reaction equivalent substrate is used in the reaction process, so raw material waste is avoided; equivalent alkali is used, so better environmental protection performance is obtained; water reflux reaction conditions are milder; and non-toxic and harmless pure water is used as the solvent in the reaction, only water is generated as a by-product, so atom reaction economy is high, and the requirements of green chemistry are met.

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.

A new method was developed for synthesizing 2-alkyl-2-boryl-tetrahydrofuran derivatives from aliphatic ketones using a copper(i)/N-heterocyclic carbene complex catalyst. This reaction presumably proceeds through the nucleophilic addition of a borylcopper(i) intermediate to ketone, followed by intramolecular substitution of the resulting alkoxide for the halide leaving group. The new borylation products, 2-alkyl-2-boryl-tetrahydrofuran derivatives with a condensed structure around the C-B bond, cannot be synthesized by other methods.

A water-soluble dinuclear Cp?Ir complex bearing 4,4′,6,6′-tetrahydroxy-2,2′-bipyrimidine as a bridging ligand was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols in pure water. In the presence of catalyst (0.5 mol%), a series of desirable products were obtained with high reaction economy under environmentally benign conditions. The importance of the hydroxy group in the ligand for catalytic hydrogen transfer was confirmed by mechanism experiments. Furthermore, the application of this catalytic system for the synthesis of a biologically active molecule donepezil in pure water has been accomplished. Notably, this research would facilitate the progress of C-C bond-forming reactions in water catalyzed by water-soluble metal-ligand bifunctional catalysts.

Borrowing hydrogen is a powerful and green technique that allows readily available alcohols to be used as alkylating agents and produces water as the only by-product. Nevertheless, harsh conditions such as high temperatures and organic solvents are usually required. Herein, we present a strategy to perform the α-alkylation of ketones in aqueous media at mild temperatures by combining borrowing hydrogen with phase-transfer catalysis. A broad scope of methyl ketones was functionalized with alkyl and benzyl alcohols in moderate to good yields at 40 °C. The protocol was also highly effective at large scale and room temperature.

Paragraph 0168; 0169; 0170; 0171; 0172, (2017/04/12)
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing alpha-alkyl ketone, and especially includes the following steps of: in a reaction vessel, adding secondary alcohol, a transition metal catalyst, and a solvent tertiary amyl alcohol; and heating and refluxing a reaction mixture in an oil bath for several hours, cooling the mixture to a room temperature; then adding primary alcohol and alkali, heating and refluxing the reaction mixture for several hours, and then obtaining a target compound through column separation. The method for synthesizing the alpha-alkyl ketone starts from the primary alcohol and the secondary alcohol. With the participation of the transition metal catalyst, the alpha-alkyl ketone is generated through a serial secondary alcohol non-acceptor dehydrogenation oxidation reaction/alpha-alkylation reaction of ketone. The reaction shows three obvious advantages that 1) non-toxic alcohols are used as the starting materials; 2) only hydrogen and water are generated in the reaction without environmental hazards; 3) atomic economy is high in the reaction; and 4) only 0.1 equivalents of carbonate is needed for the reaction, and the reaction only takes 3-6 hours. Therefore, the reaction meets the requirements of green chemistry and has broad development prospects.

A cyclometalated iridium(III) complex containing a N∧C∧N-coordinating terdentate ligand [Ir(dpyx-N,C,N)Cl(μ-Cl)]2 was found to be a general and highly effective catalyst for the α-alkylation of ketones and N-alkylation of amines with alcohols. In the presence of catalyst (1 mol % Ir) and base (0.2-0.5 equiv), a variety of desirable products were obtained in good yields under an air atmosphere. Notably, this research exhibited the new potential of Ir(III) complexes bearing non-Cp? ligand and will facilitate the progress of the hydrogen autotransfer process.
