2-Alkyl cycloketones are essential chemicals and intermediates for synthetic perfumes and pesticides, which are conventionally produced by multistep process including aldol condensation, separation and hydrogenation. In present work, a batch one-pot cascade approach using aldehydes and cycloketones as the raw materials, and a bifunctional Pd/ZrO2 catalyst was developed for the synthesis of 2-alkyl cycloketones, e.g., cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone. Very high aldehydes (except for paraldehyde with large steric hindrance) conversion and high yields for 2-alkyl cycloketones (e.g., 99 % of conversion for n-butanal and 76 wt.% of yield for 2-butyl cyclohexanone) were obtained at mild temperature of 140 °C. After 10 cycles of reuse, Pd/ZrO2 catalyst showed slight deactivation (ca. 5 % conversion and 10 % yield losses), due to the coke on the catalyst. However, the performance of the catalyst was completely recovered after an oxidative regeneration.

The structures and relative rates of formation of the isomeric triplet 1,4-biradical intermediates generated in the photocycloaddition reactions between 2-methylpropene and each of 2-cyclopentenone, 2-methyl-2-cyclopentenone and 3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone were determined. This was accomplished by using hydrogen selenide as a hydrogen atom donor to trap quantitatively the 1,4-biradicals formed in each reaction. The quantum yields of cycloadduct formation in the photocycloaddition reactions were measured as a function of alkene concentration. For each reaction the relative rates of formation of the biradicals and the quantum yield data were combined to determine quantitatively how each biradical partitions between closure (or disproportionate) to product and fragmentation to ground state enone and alkene. It is concluded that the regiochemistry of the enone - alkene photocycloaddition reactions studied is dominated by the manner in which the biradical intermediates partition between products and ground state precursors and not by the relative rates at which they are formed. It is also concluded that methyl substitution at the 3-position of cyclopentenone has little effect on either the relative rates of formation of the various isomeric biradical intermediates or the manner in which they partition between products and starting materials. However, methyl substitution at the 2-position of cyclopentenone slows formation of biradicals in which the alkene is bonded to the enone 2-position and also inhibits closure to cyclobutane products of biradicals formed by bonding of the alkene to the 3-position of the enone. These results can be rationalized if it is assumed that the enone triplet excited state possesses a planar carbon at the 2-position and a pyramidalized carbon at the 3-position, and if it is also assumed that in the biradicals, radical centers at the cyclopentanone 2-position are planar and at the 3-position are pyramidalized.
Efficient Conjugate Alkylation of α,β-Unsaturated Nitro Olefins by Triorganoalanes

Both trialkylaluminum (AlR3; R = Et, i-Bu) and triorganoaluminum etherates (AlR3*OEt2; R = Et, i-Bu, Ph) rapidly react with α,β-unsaturated nitro olefins to give only 1,4-monoalkylated products in high yields.The natures of substrates, the reaction conditions as well as the reagents molar ratio, do not cause significant variations on the recovered products.
