A sustainable Ni-catalyzed reductive acylation reaction of carboxylic acids via an electrochemical pathway is presented, affording a variety of ketones as major products. The reaction proceeds at ambient temperature using unactivated alkyl halides and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) esters as coupling partners, which exhibits several synthetic advantages, including mild conditions and convenience of amplification (58% yield for 6 mmol scale reaction). (Figure presented.).
KOtBu/DMSO Catalytic System for Isomerization of Allylic Alcohols to Ketones
Sai, Masahiro
, (2022/04/03)
The isomerization of allylic alcohols is an important reaction because it can afford carbonyl compounds in an atom-economical manner. Although base-catalyzed methods are more desirable than those using transition-metal catalysts from both the economic and environmental points of view, these methods have several drawbacks, such as narrow substrate scope and high catalyst loading. This paper reports the development of an efficient KOtBu/DMSO catalytic system suitable for the isomerization of a broad range of allylic alcohols with good yields, to which previously reported systems could not be applied. This catalytic system was successfully applied to a tandem allylic isomerization/electrophilic trapping reaction, thereby highlighting its synthetic utility.
o-Quinone methide with overcrowded olefin component as a dehydridation catalyst under aerobic photoirradiation conditions

, p. 2778 - 2783 (2021/03/14)
Ano-quinone methide (o-QM) featuring an overcrowded olefinic framework is introduced, which exhibits dehydridation activity owing to its enhanced zwitterionic character, particularly through photoexcitation. The characteristics of thiso-QM enable the operation of dehydridative catalysis in the oxidation of benzylic secondary alcohols under aerobic photoirradiation conditions. An experimental analysis and density functional theory calculations provide mechanistic insights; the ground-state zwitterionic intermediate abstracts a hydride and proton simultaneously, and the active oxygen species facilitate catalyst regeneration.

Under mild conditions (room temperature, 80 psi of H2) Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of the C═C bond in α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, including natural product precursors with bulky substituents in the β position and substrates possessing an array of additional functional groups. It also catalyzes the hydrogenation of many isolated double bonds. Mechanistic studies reveal that no radical intermediates are involved, and the catalyst appears to be homogeneous, thereby affording important complementarity to existing protocols for similar hydrogenation processes.

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.

A highly reactive catalytic system for the carbonylative coupling of aryl iodides with alkenylaluminum reagents has been developed. Various β-substituted γ,δ-unsaturated ketones were produced under mild conditions in good to excellent yields even under ppm level of palladium catalyst. Notably, this also represents the first example on carbonylative transformation of alkenylaluminum compounds. Additionally, by the addition of zinc salt, the selectivity of the product can be modified.
Ketone Synthesis by Direct, Orthogonal Chemoselective Hydroacylation of Alkenes with Amides: Use of Alkenes as Surrogates of Alkyl Carbanions

Direct functionalization of alkenes and direct transformation of carboxamides are two exciting areas that have attracted considerable attention in recent years. We report herein that secondary amides, the least reactive derivatives of carbonyl compounds, upon activated with triflic anhydride, can serve as effective hydroacylating reagents in partner with alkenes to yield ketones at ambient temperature. The method was applied to the one-step synthesis of racemic dihydro-ar-turmerone. In this method, alkenes serve as surrogates of organometallic reagents, which allows the orthogonal chemoselective reactions. The ready availability of many olefins such as camphene and norbornene permits one-step ketone synthesis that would require several steps by conventional methods.

A nickel-catalyzed arylation of both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes proceeds with air-stable (hetero)arylboronic acids, with an exceptionally wide substrate scope. The neutral condition tolerates acidic hydrogen and sensitive polar groups and also preserves α-stereocenters of some chiral aldehydes. Interestingly, this nickel(0) catalysis does not follow common 1,2-insertion of arylmetal species to aldehydes and β-hydrogen elimination.
Mild Cu-Catalyzed Oxidation of Benzylic Boronic Esters to Ketones
Grayson, James D.,Partridge, Benjamin M.
, p. 4296 - 4301 (2019/05/14)
The oxidation of benzylic boronic esters directly to the ketone is reported. This mild Cu-catalyzed method uses an ambient atmosphere of air as the terminal oxidant and is notably chemoselective. Oxidation of the C-B bond occurs selectively, even in the presence of unprotected alcohols. Initial investigation suggests the reaction proceeds through an alkylboron to Cu transmetalation, peroxide formation, and rearrangement to give the carbonyl.
