α-Methylation of ketones with methanol catalyzed by a cheap and easy to handle Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 was explored. After optimization of the reaction between propiophenone and methanol, the desired product was obtained in 95 % isolated yield. A wide range of ketones was methylated under the optimized conditions (16 examples). This procedure was extended to a three-component cross-benzylation-methylation of acetophenone.

A regiodivergent catalytic method for direct conversion of aldehydes to branched or linear alkyl ketones is described. Rhodium complexes modified by PtBu2Me catalyze formate-mediated aldehyde-vinyl bromide reductive coupling-redox isomerization to form branched ketones. Use of the less strongly coordinating ligand, PPh3, promotes vinyl-to allylrhodium isomerization en route to linear ketones. This method bypasses the 3-step sequence often used to convert aldehydes to ketones involving the addition of pre-metalated reagents to Weinreb or morpholine amides.
Ir-catalysed formation of C-F bonds. From allylic alcohols to α-fluoroketones

, p. 8331 - 8333 (2011/09/12)
A novel iridium-catalysed tandem isomerisation/C-F bond formation from allylic alcohols and Selectfluor to prepare α-fluorinated ketones as single constitutional isomers is reported.
A facile synthesis of α-fluoro ketones catalyzed by [Cp*IrCl2]2

supporting information; experimental part, p. 2600 - 2608 (2011/10/02)
Allylic alcohols are isomerized into enolates (enols) by [Cp*IrCl2]2. The enolates react with Selectfluor present in the reaction media. This method produces α-fluoro ketones as single constitutional isomers in high yields. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart. New York.
Reaction of α-Silyl Esters with Grignard Reagents: A Synthesis of β-Keto Silanes and Ketones. Preparation of the Douglas Fir Tussock Moth Pheromone

A variety of α-diphenylmethylsilyl esters have been prepared and reacted with Grignard reagents.The reaction is relatively slow in refluxing THF and can be controlled to allow the addition of 1 equiv of the Grignard reagent, providing the corresponding β-keto silane.Protiodesilylation of the β-keto silane results in the overall conversion of an ester to a ketone.This ester to ketone methodology has been applied to a two-step synthesis of the pheromone of the Douglas fir tussock moth.The β-keto silanes are viable precursors to regioselectively generated enol silyl ethers.The reaction of ethyl 2-methyl-2-(diphenylmethylsilyl)propionate with vinylmagnesium bromide or 2-methyl 1-propenylmagnesium bromide results in the addition of 2 equiv of the Grignard reagent, the second in a Michael fashion.
Low Temperature Free-Radical Reactions Initiated with tert-Butyl p-Benzoylperbenzoate. Selective Acyl Radical Additions to Substituted Olefins
Gottschalk, Peter,Neckers, D. C.
, p. 3498 - 3502 (2007/10/02)
Competition experiments involving acyl radical additions to simple and electron-deficient olefins showed a definite preference for acylation of the latter olefin.This selectivity was significantly enhanced by using low temperature initiation with tert-butyl p-benzoylperbenzoate (1), which allows selective initiation of free-radical cyclization reactions that have synthetic importance.
