Preparation method of novel aromatic ketone compound

The invention discloses a preparation method of a novel aromatic ketone compound. According to the preparation method, an aromatic carboxylic acid compound and an aromatic olefin compound are used asreaction raw materials, triphenylphosphine is taken as a deoxidizing reagent, Methylenene blue is taken as a photocatalyst, stirring and reacting are carried out at room temperature in an N,N-dimethylacetamide solvent under the irradiation of a white light lamp in a nitrogen atmosphere and under the condition of taking 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine as an alkali, thereby obtaining a target product, namely the aromatic ketone compound. The method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, simplicity in operation, low cost, convenience in purification, environmental friendliness and the like.

Utility of Organoboron Reagents in Arylation of Cyclopropanols via Chelated Pd(II) Catalysis: Chemoselective Access to β-Aryl Ketones

Organoborane reagents were investigated as coupling partners to cyclopropanol-derived β-ketone enolates in the presence of a chelated Pd(II) catalyst. Efficient coupling of a range of electronically and sterically diverse cyclopropanols and aryl/alkenyl boronic derivatives (39 examples, 65-94% yield) could be achieved with the generation of synthetically important β-aryl ketone intermediates in a chemoselective fashion. This reactivity paradigm, which broadens the scope of aryl donor partners to homoenolates, allows open-flask conditions, water as a cosolvent, and preparation of halogen-bearing β-aryl ketones that are distinct from previous methods. This chelated Pd(II) catalysis appears to be different from the Pd(0) pathway, as evident from deuterium scrambling studies that could reveal differentiating protonolysis of an α-keto carbopalladium complex in the terminal step.

C?C Bond Formation of Benzyl Alcohols and Alkynes Using a Catalytic Amount of KOtBu: Unusual Regioselectivity through a Radical Mechanism

We report a C?C bond-forming reaction between benzyl alcohols and alkynes in the presence of a catalytic amount of KOtBu to form α-alkylated ketones in which the C=O group is located on the side derived from the alcohol. The reaction proceeds under thermal conditions (125 °C) and produces no waste, making the reaction highly atom efficient, environmentally benign, and sustainable. Based on our mechanistic investigations, we propose that the reaction proceeds through radical pathways.

Methanol as hydrogen source: Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with a rhodacycle

Methanol is a safe, economic and easy-to-handle hydrogen source. It has rarely been used in transfer hydrogenation reactions, however. We herein report that a cyclometalated rhodium complex, rhodacycle, catalyzes highly chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with methanol as the hydrogen source. A wide variety of chalcones, styryl methyl ketones and vinyl methyl ketones, including sterically demanding ones, were reduced to the saturated ketones in refluxing methanol in a short reaction time, with no need for inter gas protection, and no reduction of the carbonyl moieties was observed. The catalysis described provides a practically easy and operationally safe method for the reduction of olefinic bonds in α,β-unsaturated ketone compounds.

Alkylation of Ketones Catalyzed by Bifunctional Iron Complexes: From Mechanistic Understanding to Application

Cyclopentadienone iron dicarbonyl complexes were applied in the alkylation of ketones with various aliphatic and aromatic ketones and alcohols via the borrowing hydrogen strategy in mild reaction conditions. DFT calculations and experimental works highlight the role of the transition metal Lewis pairs and the base. These iron complexes demonstrated a broad applicability in mild conditions and extended the scope of substrates.

Method for preparing substituted ketone compound through oxidization, dehydration and alkylation of secondary alcohol

The invention discloses a method for preparing a substituted ketone compound through oxidization, dehydration and alkylation of secondary alcohol, and by means of the green synthetic method, substituted ketones are prepared from primary alcohol and the secondary alcohol through a dehydration C-alkylation-oxidization cascade reaction with the existence of alkali but without a transitional metal catalyst. According to the method, the alcohols which are low in price, easy to obtain, wide in source, stable and low in toxicity are used as alkylation reagent, common base metal inorganic base is used as an additive, methylbenzene is used as solvent, air is economical and safe oxidant, and the corresponding substituted ketone compound with secondary alcohol beta alkylated is directly synthesized through the dehydration C-alkylation-oxidization cascade reaction. The reaction method and condition are simple, no transitional metal catalyst is need, no inert gas protection is needed, the method is easy to operate, the by-product is water, compared with a precious metal catalyst, the inorganic base which is used is low in price and easy to obtain and can be removed conveniently through washing, and no heavy metal residue exists in the final product. Therefore, the method is wide in application scope and has certain research and industrial application prospect.

Hydrogen-borrowing and interrupted-hydrogen-borrowing reactions of ketones and methanol catalyzed by iridium

Reported herein is the use of catalytic [{Ir(cod)Cl}2] to facilitate hydrogen-borrowing reactions of ketone enolates with methanol at 65°C. An oxygen atmosphere accelerates the process, and when combined with the use of a bulky monodentate phosphine ligand, interrupts the catalytic cycle by preventing enone reduction. Subsequent addition of pronucleophiles to the reaction mixture allowed a one-pot methylenation/conjugate addition protocol to be developed, which greatly expands the range of products that can be made by this methodology.

Ligated regioselective PdII catalysis to access β-aryl-bearing aldehydes, ketones, and β-keto esters

By employing ligands in the PdII-mediated arylative isomerization of allyl alcohols, a milder and regioselective access to the versatile building blocks β-aryl aldehydes and ketones was developed. This new and chelation-controlled protocol enabled the compatibility of wide range of functionalities to generate dihydrochalcones, α-benzyl-α′- alkyl acetones, dihydrocinnamaldehydes, and α-benzyl β-keto esters (from Baylis-Hillman adducts). A practical multigram synthesis of an intermediate for Propafenone was also demonstrated. Copyright
