One-pot synthesis of α-methyl ketones starting from 1,3-diaryl propenols or 1-aryl propenols and methanol as a C1 source is demonstrated. This one-pot isomerization-methylation is catalyzed by commercially available Pd(OAc)2 with H2O as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies and deuterium labelling experiments indicate the involvement of isomerization of allyl alcohol followed by methylation through a hydrogen-borrowing pathway in these isomerization-methylation reactions.

The radical–radical coupling reaction is an important synthetic strategy. In this study, the iron-catalyzed radical–radical cross-coupling reaction based on the decarboxylation of keto acids and decarbonylation of aliphatic aldehydes to obtain valuable aryl ketones is reported for the first time. Remarkably, when tertiary aldehydes were used as carbonyl sources, ketone esters were selectively obtained instead of ketones. The gram-scale preparation of aryl ketone through this strategy was easily achieved by using only 3 mol % of the iron catalyst. As a proof-of-concept, the bioactive molecule flurprimidol was synthesized in two steps by using this strategy.

Paragraph 0057-0058, (2020/05/05)
The invention discloses a method for preparing an aryl ketone derivative based on a free radical-free radical cross-coupling reaction such as ketonic acid decarboxylation and fatty aldehyde de-carbonylation. The method comprises the following steps: reacting aryl-substituted ketonic acid with fatty aldehyde under the catalytic action of ferric triacetylacetonate to generate an aryl ketone derivative; the gram-grade reaction can be realized by the method only by using 3mol% of an iron catalyst; and the method has the advantages of no need of consumption of a large amount of a Lewis acid catalyst or a stoichiometric organic metal reagent, mild reaction conditions, one-step reaction, few by-products, wide substrate application range and scalable reaction, and overcomes the defects of large catalyst consumption, insufficient functional group tolerance, many by-products and the like in the prior art.

A metal-catalyzed methylation process has been developed. By employing an air- and moisture-stable manganese catalyst together with isotopically labeled methanol, a series of D-, CD3-, and 13C-labeled products were obtained in good yields under mild reaction conditions with water as the only byproduct.

supporting information, p. 6864 - 6868 (2019/05/10)
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.

A general method for selective ortho C-H arylation of ketone, with boron reagent enabled by rhodium complexes with excellent yields, is developed. The transformation is characterized by the use of air-stable Rh catalyst, high monoarylation selectivity, and excellent yields of most of the substrates.

Recent trends in research have gained an orientation toward developing efficient strategies using innocuous reagents. The earlier reported transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylations involved either toxic carbon monoxide (CO) gas as carbonylating agent or functional-group-assisted ortho sp2 C-H activation (i.e., ortho acylation) or carbonylation by activation of the carbonyl group (i.e., via the formation of enamines). Contradicting these methods, here we describe an environmentally benign process, [Pd]-catalyzed direct carbonylation starting from simple and commercially available iodo arenes and aldehydes, for the synthesis of a wide variety of ketones. Moreover, this method comprises direct coupling of iodoarenes with aldehydes without activation of the carbonyl and also without directing group assistance. Significantly, the strategy was successfully applied to the synthesis n-butylphthalide and pitofenone.

The rhodium-catalyzed methylation of ketones has been accomplished using methanol as the methylating agent and the hydrogen-borrowing method. The sequence is notable for the relatively low temperatures that are required and for the ability of the reaction system to form α-branched products with ease. Doubly alkylated ketones can be prepared from methyl ketones and two different alcohols by using a sequential one-pot iridium- and rhodium-catalyzed process. Uniquely effective for making branched alkyl products from ketones (see scheme): The scope of the presented reaction includes aromatic and aliphatic ketones and consecutive one-pot double alkylation reactions to provide a convenient route to branched ketones from simple methyl ketones. A brief study into the mechanism of the reaction has given evidence for an aldol-based reaction pathway.

An unprecedented Rh-catalyzed direct methylation of ketones with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is disclosed. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope, tolerating both aryl and alkyl ketones with various substituents. Mechanistic studies suggest that DMF delivers a methylene fragment followed by a hydride in the methylation process.
