Cobalt-Catalyzed Aerobic Oxidative Cleavage of Alkyl Aldehydes: Synthesis of Ketones, Esters, Amides, and α-Ketoamides

A widely applicable approach was developed to synthesize ketones, esters, amides via the oxidative C?C bond cleavage of readily available alkyl aldehydes. Green and abundant molecular oxygen (O2) was used as the oxidant, and base metals (cobalt and copper) were used as the catalysts. This strategy can be extended to the one-pot synthesis of ketones from primary alcohols and α-ketoamides from aldehydes.

Visible-light photocatalytic reduction of sulfonium salts as a source of aryl radicals

Triarylsulfonium salts are prompted to undergo efficient homolytic reduction by single electron transfer under mild photocatalytic conditions. The liberated aryl radical can then participate in carbon-carbon bond formation processes with allyl sulfones and activated olefins. Triarylsulfonium salts emerge as a valuable and alternative source of aryl radicals for synthesis. Copyright

Photochemical Reaction of Ethyl 3-Oxo-2,4-diphenylbutanoate

Irradiation of ethyl 3-oxo-2,4-diphenylbutanoate in hexane gave the products formed by recombination of the radicals (Ph-CH2 and/or Ph-CH-CO2Et)resulting from decarbonylation, together with small amounts of 1,2-diphenylethanol and ethyl α-hydroxyphenylacetate, whereas in benzene no 1,2-diphenylethanol was found.Under oxygen an increased amount of ethyl α-hydroxyphenylacetate and no radical recombination products were observed.
