An efficient nickel(ii)-catalyzed transfer dehydrogenation oxidation of alcohols is reported that relies on cyclohexanone as the formal oxidant and does not require the use of an external base. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstratedviathe facile oxidation of structurally complicated natural products.
Process for the manufacture of ketones

, (2008/06/13)
Ketones are prepared by reacting carboxylic acid halides, in particular carboxylic acid chlorides, with aluminum-alkyl compounds, optionally in the presence of an aluminum trihalide, in methylene chloride as the solvent, at a temperature between about 20° and about 100° C., preferably between about 30° and about 60° C., more preferably of about 40° C. which is the reflux temperature of the methylene chloride. When operating at a temperature above approximately 40° C., pressure higher than atmospheric is applied. The reaction mixture is worked up in usual manner, suitably by decomposition with water followed by distillation.
