The radical–radical coupling reaction is an important synthetic strategy. In this study, the iron-catalyzed radical–radical cross-coupling reaction based on the decarboxylation of keto acids and decarbonylation of aliphatic aldehydes to obtain valuable aryl ketones is reported for the first time. Remarkably, when tertiary aldehydes were used as carbonyl sources, ketone esters were selectively obtained instead of ketones. The gram-scale preparation of aryl ketone through this strategy was easily achieved by using only 3 mol % of the iron catalyst. As a proof-of-concept, the bioactive molecule flurprimidol was synthesized in two steps by using this strategy.

Herein, we report that merging palladium catalysis with hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis enabled direct arylations and alkenylations of aldehyde C-H bonds, facilitating visible light-catalyzed construction of a variety of ketones. Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate and anthraquinone were found to act as synergistic HAT photocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations suggested a Pd0-PdII-PdIII-PdI-Pd0 pathway and revealed that regeneration of the Pd0 catalyst and the photocatalyst occurs simultaneously in the presence of KHCO3. This regeneration features a low energy barrier, promoting efficient coupling of the palladium catalytic cycle with the photocatalytic cycle. The work reported herein suggests great promise for further applications of HAT photocatalysis in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and C-H functionalization reactions to be successful.

The invention discloses a method for preparing an aryl ketone derivative based on a free radical-free radical cross-coupling reaction such as ketonic acid decarboxylation and fatty aldehyde de-carbonylation. The method comprises the following steps: reacting aryl-substituted ketonic acid with fatty aldehyde under the catalytic action of ferric triacetylacetonate to generate an aryl ketone derivative; the gram-grade reaction can be realized by the method only by using 3mol% of an iron catalyst; and the method has the advantages of no need of consumption of a large amount of a Lewis acid catalyst or a stoichiometric organic metal reagent, mild reaction conditions, one-step reaction, few by-products, wide substrate application range and scalable reaction, and overcomes the defects of large catalyst consumption, insufficient functional group tolerance, many by-products and the like in the prior art.

The Pd-catalyzed Fukuyama reaction of thioesters with organozinc reagents is a mild, functional-group-tolerant method for acylation chemistry. Its Ni-catalyzed variant might be a sustainable alternative to expensive catalytic Pd sources. We investigated the reaction of S-ethyl thioesters with aryl zinc halides with hetero- and homotopic Ni precatalysts and several ligands. The results show that both homo- and heterotopic species may contribute to catalysis. The substrate scope using an operationally homogeneous defined Ni complex was established. Acyl radicals are postulated as short-lived intermediates.
