We reported an efficient method for α-alkylation of ketones with benzyl alcohols using the pyridine-bridged pincer-type N-heterocyclic carbenes nickel complexes as catalysts. A wide range of ketones and benzyl alcohols were efficiently converted into various alkylated products in moderate to high yields. In addition, these nickel complexes were also successfully applied for the synthesis of a wide range of quinoline derivatives.

A novel protocol is developed towards the preparation of alkylated ketones from alcohols in presence of catalytic amount of SmI2 and base with the elimination of water as a single by-product under microwave irradiation conditions. Furthermore, applicability of this methodology to the synthesis of Donepezil and late-stage functionalization in Pregnenolone is also reported. Successful application of this methodology in Friedl?nder quinolone synthesis using 2-aminobenzyl alcohol and various acetophenones expand the synthetic utility of this protocol.

The selective reduction of ?,￠-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was achieved to produce saturated carbonyl compounds with aqueous HI solution. The introduction of an aryl group at an ? or ￠ position efficiently facilitated the reduction with good yield. The reaction was applicable to compounds bearing carboxylic acids and halogen atoms. Through the investigation of the reaction mechanism, it was found that Michael-type addition of iodide occurred to produce ￠-iodo compounds followed by the reduction of C-I bond via anionic and radical paths.

Ketones are of great importance in synthesis, biology, and pharmaceuticals. This paper reports an iridium complexes-catalyzed cross-coupling of alcohols via hydrogen borrowing, affording a series of α-alkylated ketones in high yield (86 %–95 %) and chemoselectivities (>99 : 1). This methodology has the advantages of low catalyst loading (0.1 mol%) and environmentally benign water as the solvent. Studies have shown the amount of base has a great impact on chemoselectivities. Meanwhile, deuteration experiments show water plays an important role in accelerating the reduction of the unsaturated ketones intermediates. Remarkably, a gram-scale experiment demonstrates this methodology of iridium-catalyzed cross-coupling of alcohols has potential application in the practical synthesis of α-alkylated ketones.

Paragraph 0045-0046, (2021/04/07)
The invention relates to the field of metal organic chemistry, in particular to application of a 4, 6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine bivalent nickel complex in preparation of [alpha]-alkyl ketone, which takes a 4, 6-dimethyl-2-mercaptopyrimidine nickel (II) compound as a catalyst and realizes selective preparation of [alpha]-alkyl ketone through cross-coupling reaction of secondary alcohol and primary alcohol by regulating and controlling reaction conditions. The coupling reaction is carried out in anhydrous toluene in the presence of alkali under the protection of inert gas. The application has the advantages of mild reaction system conditions and wide substrate applicability, and effectively avoids the use of organic phosphine ligands and noble metals.

Efficient hydrogenation of electron-deficient internal olefins and alkynes access to saturate ketone with CH3OH as a single hydrogen donor under electrochemical conditions has been successfully developed. This hydrogenation strategy can be used to convert electron-deficient internal olefins and alkynes to saturate ketone under electrochemical conditions with exogenous-reductant and a metal catalyst. Mechanistic studies reveal that radical hydrogenation was involved in this transformation. Notably, various electron-deficient internal olefins and alkynes could be tolerated in such an electrochemical hydrogenation synthetic strategy and can be easily scaled up with good efficiency.

Styrene derivatives were hydroacylated with exclusive anti-Markovnikov selectivity by using neutral eosin Y as a direct hydrogen-atom-transfer (HAT) catalyst under visible-light irradiation. Aldehydes and styrenes with various substituents were tolerated (>20 examples), giving the corresponding products in moderate to high yields. The key acyl radical intermediate was generated from a direct HAT process induced by photoexcited eosin Y. Subsequent addition to styrenes and a reverse HAT process generated the ketone products.

A Cp*Ir(III) complex (1) of a newly designed ligand L1 featuring a proton-responsive pyridyl(benzamide) appended on N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has been synthesized. The molecular structure of 1 reveals a dearomatized form of the ligand. The protonation of 1 with HBF4 in tetrahydrofuran gives the corresponding aromatized complex [Cp*Ir(L1H)Cl]BF4 (2). Both compounds are characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography. The protonation of 1 with acid is examined by 1H NMR and UV-vis spectra. The proton-responsive character of 1 is exploited for catalyzing α-alkylation of ketones and β-alkylation of secondary alcohols using primary alcohols as alkylating agents through hydrogen-borrowing methodology. Compound 1 is an effective catalyst for these reactions and exhibits a superior activity in comparison to a structurally similar iridium complex [Cp*Ir(L2)Cl]PF6 (3) lacking a proton-responsive pendant amide moiety. The catalytic alkylation is characterized by a wide substrate scope, low catalyst and base loadings, and a short reaction time. The catalytic efficacy of 1 is also demonstrated for the syntheses of quinoline and lactone derivatives via acceptorless dehydrogenation, and selective alkylation of two steroids, pregnenolone and testosterone. Detailed mechanistic investigations and DFT calculations substantiate the role of the proton-responsive ligand in the hydrogen-borrowing process.

The B(C6F5)3-catalyzed chemoselective hydrosilylation of α,β- and α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated ketones into the corresponding non-symmetric ketones in mild reaction conditions is developed. Nearly 55 substrates including those bearing reducible functional groups such as alkynyl, alkenyl, cyano, and aromatic heterocycles are chemoselectively hydrosilylated in good to excellent yields. Isotope-labeling studies revealed that hexafluoro-2-propanol also served as a hydrogen source in the process.
