A highly enantioselective acyloin rearrangement of cyclic α-ketols has been developed with a chiral Al(III)-N,N′-dioxide complex as catalyst. This strategy provided an array of optically active 2-acyl-2-hydroxy cyclohexanones in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities. The asymmetric isomerizations of acyclic α-hydroxy aldehydes and α-iminols were achieved as well under modified conditions, affording the corresponding chiral α-hydroxy ketones and α-amino ketones in moderate results. Moreover, further transformations of product to enantioenriched diols were carried out.

In this paper, a novel methodology for the synthesis of ketones via microwave irradiation promoted direct alkylation of aldehydes by activation of the inert C(sp3)-H bond has been developed. Notably, the reactions were accomplished under metal-free conditions and used commercially available aldehydes and cycloalkanes as substrates without prefunctionalization. By using this novel method, an alternative synthetic approach toward the key intermediates for the preparation of the pharmaceutically valuable oxaspiroketone derivatives was successfully established.

(Chemical Equation Presented) As mimics of α-amino acids, α-amino phosphonates have great promise as antibacterial and anti-HIV agents as well as protease inhibitors. Racemic α-branched aldehydes react, in the presence the new chiral phosphoric acid catalyst 1, directly with p-anisidine (PMPNH2) and a phosphite to furnish β-branched α-amino phosphonates highly diastereoselectively and enantioselectively. Anth = anthracenyl.

A new approach to the direct synthesis of ketones from alkanes or cycloalkanes (RH), CO, and silanes is proposed. Ketones were obtained in 50-97% yields from propane, butane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and methylcyclopentane on treatment with CO and silanes (Me4Si, Et4Si, or m-and p-XC6H4SiMe3, where X = Cl, Me, OMe) in the presence of CX4 · 2AlBr3 (X = Br, Cl) superacids at 0 °C. The reactions with m-and p-XC6H4SiMe3 (X = Cl, Me) occur regioselectively to give m-ketones from m-silanes and p-ketones from p-silanes. However, the only product, p-MeOC6H4COR, is formed both from m-and p-MeOC6H4SiMe3. The reaction of Cyclo-C5H9CO+ with BzSiMe3 results in an organosilicon ketone, Me3SiCH2QH4COC5H9, while in the presence of an excess of an acylating system (after alcoholysis), Me2Si(OR′)CH2C6H4COR is formed.
