Visible-light-promoted α-methoxymethylation and aminomethylation of ketones using methanol as a sustainable C1 source have been developed. With rose bengal as the photosensitizer and air as the green oxidant, the methoxymethylation reactions proceeded smoothly under visible light irradiation at ambient temperature. Additionally, a one-pot one-step α-aminomethylation of ketones was achieved by adding N-nucleophiles. Preliminary mechanism studies suggest that the reaction mainly proceedsviaa radical pathway.

Using methanol as a sustainable C1 source, cobalt-catalyzed α-methoxymethylation and α-aminomethylation of ketones have been developed. With cheap CoCl2·6H2O as catalyst and TBHP as oxidant, the methoxymethylated products were obtained within a short reaction time in up to 91% yield. Based on the observed reversibility of methoxy adduct to enone, the α-aminomethylation of ketones was then achieved by a one-pot methylenation/aza-Michael addition sequence. In addition, an easy way to convert α-methoxymethyl ketones to α-aminomethyl ketones has been discovered.
