Reduction, please! The title reaction affords ?-hydroxyketones, a common structural motif in biologically active natural products, in good yields and high enantioselectivities at room temperature. The commercially available ansa-titanocene 1 was found to be an efficient catalyst for this process, which presumably proceeds by addition of a ketyl radical to a nitrile.
Electroreductive acylation of aromatic ketones with acylimidazoles

The intermolecular reductive coupling of aromatic ketones with acylimidazoles was effected by electroreduction in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane and gave α-trimethylsiloxy ketones and esters. The best result was obtained using Bu4NPF6 as a supporting electrolyte and a Pb cathode in THF. The α-trimethylsiloxy-containing products were transformed to the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones and esters by treatment with TBAF in THF. This method was also effective for the intramolecular reductive coupling of δ- and ε-keto acylimidazoles.
