Direct Regioselective Alkylation of Non-Basic Heterocycles with Alcohols and Cyclic Ethers through a Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling Reaction under Metal-Free Conditions

A metal-free, simple, and highly efficient method for the direct alkylation of non-basic heterocycles and basic ones with various alcohols and cyclic ethers has been developed based on an oxidative C–H activation process. The corresponding products were generated through a dehydrogenative C–C cross-coupling reaction in the presence of di-tert-butyl peroxide in good to high yields.

Highly enantioselective reduction of symmetrical diacetylaromatics with baker's yeast

Asymmetric reduction of symmetrical diacetylaromatics (1a, 1b, and 1d- g) with baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) provided the corresponding alcohols of high enantiomeric purity. By choosing appropriate reaction conditions, the products were preferentially the monoalcohols over the diols.
