Desulfonylation reactions of α-sulfonylketones promoted by photoinduced electron transfer with 2-hydroxyarylbenzimidazolines (BIH-ArOH) were investigated. Under aerobic conditions, photoexcited 2-hydroxynaphthylbenzimidazoline (BIH-NapOH) promotes competitive reduction (forming alkylketones) and oxidation (producing α-hydroxyketones) of sulfonylketones through pathways involving the intermediacy of α-ketoalkyl radicals. The results of an examination of the effects of solvents, radical trapping reagents, substituents of sulfonylketones, and a variety of hydroxyaryl- and aryl-benzimidazolines (BIH-ArOH and BIH-Ar) suggest that the oxidation products are produced by dissociation of α-ketoalkyl radicals from the initially formed solvent-caged radical ion pairs followed by reaction with molecular oxygen. In addition, the observations indicate that the reduction products are generated by proton or hydrogen atom transfer in solvent-caged radical ion pairs derived from benzimidazolines and sulfonylketones. The results also suggest that arylsulfinate anions arising by carbon-sulfur bond cleavage of sulfonylketone radical anions act as reductants in the oxidation pathway to convert initially formed α-hydroperoxyketones to α-hydroxyketones. Finally, density functional theory calculations were performed to explore the structures and properties of radical ions of sulfonylketones as well as BIH-NapOH.

Alkynes are highly important functional groups in organic chemistry, both as part of target structures and as versatile synthetic intermediates. In this study, a protocol for the direct conversion of α-hydroxyketones to alkynes is reported. In combination with the variety of synthetic methods that generate the required starting materials by forming the central C-C bond, it enables a highly versatile fragment coupling approach toward alkynes. A broad scope for this novel transformation is shown alongside mechanistic insights. Furthermore, the utility of our protocol is demonstrated through its application in concert with varied α-hydroxyketone syntheses, giving access to a broad spectrum of alkynes.

A novel method for α-hydroxylation of ketones using substoichiometric amount of iodine under metal-free conditions is described. This method has been successfully employed in synthesizing a variety of heterocyclic compounds, which are useful precursors. α-Hydroxylation of diketones and triketones are illustrated. This strategy provides a novel, efficient, mild and inexpensive method for α-hydroxylation of aryl ketones using a sub-stoichiometric amount of molecular iodine.

A variant of P450 BM3 with an F87V substitution [P450 BM3 (F87V)] is a substrate-promiscuous cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. We investigated the bioconversion of various flavonoids (favanones, chalcone, and isoflavone) by using recombinant Escherichia coli cells, which expressed the gene coding for P450 BM3 (F87V), to give their corresponding hydroxylated products. Potent antioxidative activities were observed in some of the products.

, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a method for synthesizing 1-(acyloxy)-alkyl derivatives from 1-acyl-alkyl derivatives, which typically proceeds stereospecifically, in high yield, does not require the use of activated intermediates and/or toxic compounds and is readily amenable to scale-up. The current invention also provides 1-acyl-alkyl derivatives of known drug compounds and methods for synthesizing these 1-acyl-alkyl derivatives.
Nucleophilic substitution on α-mesyloxy-O-alkyloximes - I. Enantiospecific synthesis of 2-(imidazol-1-yl) -1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one o-alkyloximes

, p. 253 - 263 (2007/10/03)
An enantiospecific synthesis of (S)- and (R)-(E)-5-[1,3-diphenyl-2-(imidazol-1-yl)propylidene] aminooxypentanoic acids 1 using homochiral phenylalanines as starting material is described. Chiral α-hydroxyketones 9 were obtained from α-hydroxyacids 7 by Weinreb's ketone synthesis. Imidazole introduction by nucleophilic substitution on mesylate 10 led to 2-(imidazol-1-yl)propan-1-one derivative 3, key intermediate in the synthesis of 1. However, the low configurational stability displayed by compound 3 compromised its use in an enantiospecific synthesis. Homochiral compounds 1 were then obtained by a nucleophilic substitution on α-mesyloxy-O-alkyloxymes 14 which were in turn obtained from 9. This nucleophilic substitution on α-mesyloxy-O-alkyloxymes was not previously reported either on homochiral compounds or on racemic derivatives.
Reductive Coupling of Benzoyl Cyanide and Carbonyl Compounds by Aqueous Ti(III) Ions. A New Convenient and Selective Access to the Less Stable Mixed Benzoins

The reactive species formed by the Ti(III) ion reduction of benzoyl cyanide (1) adds to the C-atom of carbonyl compounds 2 under simple experimental conditions.The intermediate 1,2-diols 3 are smoothly converted, without isolation, into the less thermodynamically stable mixed benzoins 4, which are not accessible by the classical benzoin condensation.The possible mechanisms involved in the reaction are discussed.
