Here, we describe the development of a Rh-catalyzed intramolecular one-carbon homologation of unstrained aryl ketones through a formal 1,1-insertion process of olefins, enabled by temporary directing group (TDG)-aided C-C activation. The reaction provides a distinct approach to access various substituted 1-indanones. Computational mechanistic studies reveal that the formal 1,1-insertion is realized by a selective C(sp2)-C(sp3) activation and turnover limiting 2,1-insertion into the alkene, followed by a facile β-H elimination and reinsertion process.

Stepwise oxygenation at the benzylic position (1°, 2°, 3°) of aromatic molecules was comprehensively established under ambient conditions via uranyl photocatalysis to produce carboxylic acids, ketones, and alcohols, respectively. The accuracy of the stepwise oxygenation was ensured by the tunability of catalytic activity in uranyl photocatalysis, which was adjusted by solvents and additives demonstrated through Stern–Volmer analysis. Hydrogen atom transfer between the benzylic position and the uranyl catalyst facilitated oxygenation, further confirmed by kinetic studies. Considerably improved efficiency of flow operation demonstrated the potential for industrial synthetic application.

A series of novel trinuclear ruthenium carbonyl complexes [μ-?2-2-OC6H4-CH=N-Ar)]2Ru3(CO)8 [Ar = Ph (8), C6H4-4-Me (9), C6H4-4-CF3 (10), C6H4-4-Cl (11), C6H3-2,6-Me2 (12), C6H3-2,6-Et2 (13)] and [μ-?2-2-OC6H4-CH=N-C6H3-2,6-iPr2]Ru3(CO)9 (14) were designed and synthesized. All the seven novel complexes were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Molecular structures of 8, 11, 13 and 14 were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The catalytic performance of these complexes in the oxidation of secondary alcohols was explored and it was found the combination of such complexes and N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMO) exhibits high catalytic activities for the oxidation of secondary alcohols, giving the corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yields.
