The one-pot/two-step combination of enzymes and polar organometallic chemistry in aqueous media is for the first time presented as a proof-of-concept study. The unprecedented combination of the catalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols by the system laccase/TEMPO with the ultrafast addition (3 s reaction time) of polar organometallic reagents (RLi/RMgX) to thein situformed ketones, run under air at room temperature, allows the straightforward and chemoselective synthesis of tertiary alcohols with broad substrate scope and excellent conversions (up to 96%).

A tandem protocol to access tertiary alcohols has been developed which combines the organocatalytic oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones followed by their chemoselective addition by several RLi reagents. Reactions take place at room temperature, under air and in aqueous solutions, a trio of conditions that are typically forbidden in polar organometallic chemistry.
One-pot sustainable synthesis of tertiary alcohols by combining ruthenium-catalysed isomerisation of allylic alcohols and chemoselective addition of polar organometallic reagents in deep eutectic solvents

Ru(iv)-Catalysed redox isomerisation of allylic alcohols has, for the first time, been successfully assembled with the chemoselective addition of organolithium or organomagnesium reagents to the in situ formed ketones, en route to tertiary alcohols, employing deep eutectic solvents as environmentally friendly reaction media. The overall transformation, which formally involves three consecutive and different steps such as (i) the reduction of a C-C double bond, (ii) the oxidation of a secondary carbinol moiety, and (iii) a chemoselective C-C bond formation, takes place in protic and biorenewable eutectic mixtures in a sequential one-pot fashion using a commercially and easily available catalytic system, with excellent conversions (up to 99% yield), at room temperature and under air in the last step, with no concomitant reduction or enolisation processes, and with high atom economy, in agreement with the principles of the so-called green chemistry.
