An enantioselective epoxidation of α-substituted vinyl ketones was realized to construct the key epoxide intermediates for the synthesis of various triazole antifungal agents. The reaction proceeded efficiently in high yields with good enantioselectivities by employing a chiral N,N′-dioxide/ScIII complex as the chiral catalyst and 35% aq. H2O2 as the oxidant. It enabled the facile transformation for optically active isavuconazole, efinaconazole, and other potential antifungal agents.

A one-step synthesis of enones from olefins is described. The reaction was performed under visible-light irradiation in the presence of molecular oxygen and a photocatalyst. The reaction proceeded with various types of trisubstituted olefins to give enones in good yields with high regioselectivity. In particular, oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups, heteroaromatic rings, and cyclopropanes were tolerated. Mechanistic studies and previous reports indicated that the active oxygen species generated in the reaction system is singlet oxygen.

The application of several 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMIM) salt ionic liquids as solvent in the α-methylenation of carbonyl compounds at room temperature is reported. The ionic liquid [BMIM][NTf2] gave a clean reaction in a short time and good yields of several α-methylene carbonyl compounds. This ionic liquid was reused without affecting the reaction rates or yields over seven runs. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Four methods for the preparation of α-methylene ketones by direct methylene transfer are presented. The procedures were optimized in order to obtain high yields.
Baker's yeast reduction of α-methyleneketones

The bioreduction of α-methyleneketones, R1C(=O)C(=CH2)R2 (R1 = Me, Et, Pr, iso-Bu, Ph, CH2CH2Ph; R2 = Cl, Me, Et, n-Pr, iso-Pr, n-Bu, n-C6H13, Ph, CH2Ph), was mediated by baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to obtain the corresponding α-methylketones. The R1 and R2 groups had a significant influence on the rate and enantioselectivity of the reductions. The rate of C=C bond reduction was higher than that of C=O bond reduction. Only α-methyleneketones having R1 = Me yielded α-methylketones in high enantioselectivity with e.e.s of 88-99%.
