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%).

(Chemical Equation Presented) A highly efficient alkyl-selective addition to ketones with magnesium ate complexes derived from Grignard reagents and alkyllithiums is described. The nucleophilicity of R in R3MgLi is remarkably increased compared to that of the original RLi or RMgX, while the basicity of R3MgLi is decreased. Furthermore, a highly R-selective addition to ketones is demonstrated using RMe2MgLi in place of R 3MgLi.

Toluene solutions of composition Et3ZnLi react rapidly with aldehydes and ketones to form addition products. Et3ZnNa and Et3ZnK solutions react readily with the same substrates although metalation, as well as addition, is significant with substrates having α-hydrogens. The Et3ZnM solutions react with 2-cyclohexenone to give mainly the 1,4-addition product. Relative rates of addition of Et3ZnLi to substituted acetophenones give a Hammett ρ of 2.78. Addition of Et3ZnLi to acetophenone is slowed significantly by α and ortho methyl substituents; relative rates of addition to acetophenone, o-methylacetophenone, and tert-butyl phenyl ketone are 1.00, 0.012, and 0.003.
Barriers to Internal Rotation in Neopentylbenzenes Substituted on the Benzyl Group. A 13C NMR Band Shape Study

, p. 730 - 744 (2007/10/02)
Two series of neopentylbenzenes with one or two substituents on the benzyl group have been synthesized.In one series the substituents were H, F, Cl, Br, I, OCH3, OCOCH3, OSi(CH3)3, CH3 and CH2CH3, and in the other OH and R R = H, CH3, CH2CH3, (CH2)3CH3,
