As a key element in the construction of complex organic scaffolds, the formation of C?C bonds remains a challenge in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Recent advancements in single-electron chemistry have enabled new methods for the formation of various C?C bonds. Disclosed herein is the development of a novel single-electron reduction of acyl azoliums for the formation of ketones from carboxylic acids. Facile construction of the acyl azolium in situ followed by a radical–radical coupling was made possible merging N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and photoredox catalysis. The utility of this protocol in synthesis was showcased in the late-stage functionalization of a variety of pharmaceutical compounds. Preliminary investigations using chiral NHCs demonstrate that enantioselectivity can be achieved, showcasing the advantages of this protocol over alternative methodologies.

We found that N-heterocyclic carbene catalysis promoted the unprecedented decarboxylative coupling of aryl aldehydes and tertiary or secondary alkyl carboxylic acid-derived redox-active esters to produce aryl alkyl ketones. The mild and transition-metal-free reaction conditions are attractive features of this method. The power of this protocol was demonstrated by the functionalization of pharmaceutical drugs and natural product. A reaction pathway involving single electron transfer from an enolate form of Breslow intermediate to a redox ester followed by recombination of the resultant radical pair to form a carbon-carbon bond is proposed.
Fe(III)-mediated isomerization of α,α-diarylallylic alcohols to ketones: Via radical 1,2-aryl migration

An Fe(iii)-mediated radical 1,2-aryl migration of α,α-diarylallylic alcohols for the isomerization to ketones is described. The Fe(acac)3-silane would convert the alkene to an alkyl radical and initiates a 1,2-aryl migration-oxidation process. Thus Fe(acac)3 serves as an olefin hydrogen atom transfer initiator and oxidant, while various allylic alcohols could isomerize to ketones in moderate to good yields.
