A tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-catalyzed oxidation reaction of α-diazoesters (α-diazo amides) with dimethyl sulfoxide has been developed. The reaction proceeds under metal free conditions to afford a series α-ketoesters and α-ketoamides. The synthetic utility of this protocol is demonstrated through synthetic transformations and scaled-up synthesis. (Figure presented.).

A palladium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroesterification of α-aryl acrylic acids with CO and alcohol was developed, preparing a variety of chiral α-substituted succinates in moderate yields with high ee values. The kinetic profile of the reaction progress revealed that the alkene substrate first underwent the hydroesterification followed by esterification with alcohol. The origin of the enantioselectivity was elucidated by density functional theory computation.

A general synthesis of chiral α,α-diaryl carboxamides is developed by enantioselective cross-coupling between 2-bromo-2-aryl carboxamides and arylboronic acids, leading to a series of chiral α,α-diaryl carboxamides with various electronic properties and functionalities in moderate to excellent enantioselectivities and yields. The employment of a sterically bulky chiral P,P═O ligand L2 is critical for the reactivity and selectivity. This protocol is applied to an efficient asymmetric synthesis of a key intermediate of dopamine receptor agonist SKF 38393.

Cyclohexanone monooxygenases (CHMOs) show very high catalytic specificity for natural Baeyer–Villiger (BV) reactions and promiscuous reduction reactions have not been reported to date. Wild-type CHMO from Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB 9871 was found to possess an innate, promiscuous ability to reduce an aromatic α-keto ester, but with poor yield and stereoselectivity. Structure-guided, site-directed mutagenesis drastically improved the catalytic carbonyl-reduction activity (yield up to 99 %) and stereoselectivity (ee up to 99 %), thereby converting this CHMO into a ketoreductase, which can reduce a range of differently substituted aromatic α-keto esters. The improved, promiscuous reduction activity of the mutant enzyme in comparison to the wild-type enzyme results from a decrease in the distance between the carbonyl moiety of the substrate and the hydrogen atom on N5 of the reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) cofactor, as confirmed using docking and molecular dynamics simulations.
Controllable chemoselectivity in the coupling of bromoalkynes with alcohols under visible-light irradiation without additives: Synthesis of propargyl alcohols and α-ketoesters

The chemoselectivity of visible-light-induced coupling reactions of bromoalkynes with alcohols can be controlled by simple changes to the reaction atmosphere (N2 or O2). A N2 atmosphere favours propargyl alcohols via a direct C-C coupling process, whereas an O2 atmosphere results in the generation of α-ketoesters through the oxidative CC/C-O coupling pathway.

A copper-catalyzed efficient and practical method has been developed for the synthesis of 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters. TEMPO was used as a radical initiator and scavenger, oxidizing the cleavage of α-methylene of 1,3-diketones and β-keto esters to form 1,2-diketones and α-keto esters. This method provided a general way for the formation of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds.

A rapid and efficient synthesis of α-keto esters from β-ketonitriles using phenyliodine(III) diacetate is reported. This protocol gave α-keto esters in good yields. This is the first time to report the application of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents in the synthesis of α-keto esters. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.

Yin, Lu,Jia, Xian,Li, Xing Shu,Chan, Albert S.C.
experimental part, p. 774 - 777 (2011/11/12)
Vanadium-catalyzed oxidative kinetic resolution (OKR) of methyl o-chloromandelate 2a, key intermediate of the well-known oral antiplatelet agent (S)-clopidogrel, was achieved by ambient air for the first time. The air oxidation system, which was composed of vanadium and tridentate Schiff base ligands derived from amino alcohols and salicylaldehyde derivatives, afforded an efficient and economic approach to the target intermediate with high enantioselectivities (>99% ee).

(Chemical Equation Presented) In the presence of catalytic amounts of CeCl3·7H2O, [RuCl(benzene)(S)-SunPhos]Cl is a highly effective catalyst for the asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic α-ketoesters. A variety of ethyl α-hydroxy-α-arylacetates have been prepared in up to 98.3% ee with a TON up to 10 000. Challenging aromatic α-ketoesters with ortho substituents are also hydrogenated with high enantioselectivities. The addition of CeCl3·7H2O not only improves the enantioselectivity but also enhances the stability of the catalyst. The ratio of CeCl3·7H2O to [RuCl(benzene)(S)-SunPhos]Cl plays an important role in the hydrogenation reaction with a large substrate/catalyst ratio.
