Thermodynamic favorable CO2 conversion via vicinal diols and propargylic alcohols: A metal-free catalytic method

Organocatalysis represents a promising field in chemical fixation of CO2. Herein, a facile metal-free strategy was reported for the one-pot preparation of cyclic carbonates and α-hydroxy ketones from vicinal diols, propargylic alcohols and CO2. Wide scope of vicinal diols and propargylic alcohols was demonstrated to be efficient under the DBU-catalyzed conditions. A plausible mechanism was proposed, which included detailed main and side reactions under the metal-free conditions.

Selective Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Aliphatic Acyloins through Oxidation of Iridium Enolates

The first method to access unsymmetrical aliphatic acyloins is presented. The method relies on a fast 1,3-hydride shift mediated by an IrIII complex in allylic alcohols followed by oxidation with TEMPO+. The direct conversion of allylic alcohols into acyloins is achieved in a one-pot procedure. Further functionalization of the Cα′ of the α-amino-oxylated ketone products gives access to highly functionalized unsymmetrical aliphatic ketones, which further highlights the utility of this transformation.

Α - hydroxy ketone compound low priced high-efficient synthetic method

The invention discloses a cheap and efficient synthesis method of an alpha-hydroxyketone compound. The synthesis method is characterized in that a carbonyl compound undergoes an oxidation hydroxylation reaction at 10-120DEG C under normal pressure with iodine simple substance, N-bromosuccimide, copper bromide, bromine simple substance, hydrogen bromide, N-iodosuccimide or hydrogen iodide as a catalyst, sulfoxide as an oxidant, water or sulfoxide as a hydroxy source and sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethyl formamide, acetonitrile, toluene, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran or H2O as a solvent, and converts into the alpha-hydroxyketone compound in a high selectivity manner. Compared with traditional synthesis methods, the method disclosed in the invention has the advantages of simple operation, high yield, simple conditions, easy purification, small waste discharge amount, simple reaction apparatus, and easy industrial production. The method has wide applicability and can be used for synthesizing various alpha-hydroxyketone compounds.
