Functionalized α-tertiary and -quaternary 2-arylcycloalkanones are rapidly accessed by scandium(III) triflate-catalyzed diazo-alkane-carbonyl homologations. Recent developments have allowed for carbon insertion reactions to be performed with catalyst loadings as low as 0.5 mol% on scales up to 5 mmol. Pairing readily available bis- and tris(oxazoline) based ligands with scandium triflate allows access to arylated medium ring carbocycles with enantioselectivities up to 98:2 er and >98% yield. The formal C-C insertion of aryldiazo-methanes into unsubstituted cycloalkanones provides a single-step solution to the ongoing challenge of α-arylation. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

Mg-promoted reduction of a mixture of aromatic ketones (or imines) and aliphatic carbonyl compounds in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) brought about unique mixed pinacol type of cross coupling to give unsymmetrical vicinal diols (or amino alcohols) or α-hydroxyketones in good to moderate yields. The reaction may be initiated by electron transfer from magnesium metal to an aromatic carbonyl compound possessing a less negative reduction potential. The difference of reduction potential between aromatic ketones (or imines) and aliphatic carbonyl compounds was found to be one of the important key factors in this selective cross coupling.
Reductive opening of 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolanes by a naphthalene-catalysed lithiation: Synthetic applications

The reaction of 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolanes 1a,b with an excess of lithium powder in the presence of a catalytic amount of naphthalene (4 mol %) in tetrahydrofuran at -40°C followed by successive reaction with an electrophile and final hydrolysis with water at the same temperature yields the corresponding monoprotected 1,2-diols 2aa-2bf. The same process but allowing to rise the temperature to 20°C before the hydrolysis affords alcohols 3aa-3bd. The use of 2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxolane 1d, under similar reaction conditions as for compounds 2, permits the isolation of 2,2-diphenylalcohols 11da-11dc, resulting from the reaction with two different electrophiles. A mechanistic rationalization for all processes is given.
