Reported herein is a visible-light-mediated radical approach to the α-alkylation of ketones. This method exploits the ability of a nucleophilic organocatalyst to generate radicals upon SN2-based activation of alkyl halides and blue light irradiation. The resulting open-shell intermediates are then intercepted by weakly nucleophilic silyl enol ethers, which would be unable to directly attack the alkyl halides through a traditional two-electron path. The mild reaction conditions allowed functionalization of the α position of ketones with functional groups that are not compatible with classical anionic strategies. In addition, the redox-neutral nature of this process makes it compatible with a cinchona-based primary amine catalyst, which was used to develop a rare example of enantioselective organocatalytic radical α-alkylation of ketones.

Acyl radicals are invaluable intermediates in organic synthesis, however their generation remains challenging. Herein, we present an unprecedented light-driven, cobalt-catalysed method for the generation of acyl radicals from readily available 2-S-pyridyl thioesters. The synthetic potential of this methodology was demonstrated in the Giese-type acylation of activated olefins in the presence of heptamethyl cobyrrinate. This vitamin B12 derivative proved to be the most efficient catalyst in the studied process. The developed method features broad substrate scope (38 examples), good functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions. Moreover, it is easily scalable (illustrated on a 20-fold scale-up procedure), enabling its preparative use. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction proceeds via a radical pathway with the key steps involving the formation of an acyl-vitamin B12 complex and subsequent photolysis of the Co?C bond.

A series of polyether-substituted triazolium ionic liquids catalysts have been first synthesized for resolving the problem of separation and reuse of Stetter catalysts. The catalysts possess the properties of critical solution temperature (CST) and inverse temperature-dependent solubility in toluene/heptane solvents. Based on these properties, the catalysts can achieve the catalytic process named as thermoregulated phase-separable catalysis (TPSC) with the characteristic of homogeneous reaction at higher temperature and phase-separation at lower temperature. The novel TPSC system has been successfully applied for Stetter reaction of furfural or butanal with ethyl acrylate. The experimental results have showed that the novel catalysts exhibit excellent TPSC with high recycling efficiency.
