A photoredox benzyl activation was developed via formidable C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond dissociation of 1-aryl acetone oxime esters, which were easily prepared from benzyl ketones. Further coupling with O- and N- nucleophiles successfully forged important benzyl ether and amines derivatives in one pot. In this process, different substitutions on oxime esters were found compatible and various primary and secondary alcohols and amines, as well as amides showed good performance as nucleophiles. Mechanistic studies by control experiments, electrochemical measurements and in-situ NMR spectra proposed a N–O bond interruption/C–C bond fragmentation/oxidation sequence to provide the key cation intermediate for the next electrophilic SN process. The features of mild condition, short reaction time and broad substrate scope made this new strategy much promising in the transformation of benzyl compounds, which might be valuable in last-stage functionalizations.
Metal Free, Direct and Selective Deoxygenation of α-Hydroxy Carbonyl Compounds: Access to α,α-Diaryl Carbonyl Compounds
Kumar, Anil,Sandeep,Venugopalan, Paloth
, (2020/04/27)
An efficient, metal free, direct and selective deoxygenation of α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds is achieved with the aid of catalytic amount of aqueous HClO4 (70 %) and triethylsilane as hydride source. A variety of α-hydroxy-α,α-diaryl carbonyl compounds are selectively deoxygenated to give α,α-diaryl carbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields. Intermediacy of α-keto carbenium ion is proposed on the basis of some control experiments and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectral analysis.

A Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds modified with oxalyl groups and aryl halides has been developed that furnishes α-aryl esters under mild conditions and tolerates a variety of functionalized aryl halides bearing electron-withdrawing and -donating groups. This work highlights C-O bond fragmentation on secondary alkyl carbon centers that generates α-carbonyl radicals.
Two efficient pathways for the synthesis of aryl ketones catalyzed by phosphorus-free palladium catalysts
Wirwis,Feder-Kubis,Trzeciak
, p. 61 - 72 (2018/01/05)
Allylic alcohols, 1-buten-3-ol, 1-penten-3-ol and 1-octen-3-ol, reacted with aryl iodides (iodotoluene, 4-iodotoluene, 4-iodophenol and 4-iodanisole) under Heck reaction conditions to form corresponding saturated aryl ketones in one step. The same products were obtained in a two-step tandem reaction consisted of the Heck coupling of allylic alcohols with aryl iodides, followed by hydrogenation. Reactions were catalyzed by phosphorus-free palladium precursors modified with the menthol-substituted imidazolium chlorides. Formation of crystalline palladium nanoparticles, of the diameter up to 65 nm, in the reaction mixture was evidenced by TEM.

The regiocontrolled rearrangement of 1,2-diols has been achieved by controlling the loading of BF3·Et2O. Its applicability is showcased by the divergent synthesis of austrodoral, austrodoric acid, and 8-epi-11-nordriman-9-one, as well as a formal synthesis of siphonodictyal B and liphagal. A new light is shed on piancol-type rearrangements that will be useful in diversity-oriented synthesis of related natural products.

, p. 122 - 131 (2016/01/25)
Dynamic reductive kinetic resolutions of racemic 3-arylalkanones have been performed by the proper combination of an alcohol dehydrogenase and a basic anionic resin. The best results were found for the bioreduction with the alcohol dehydrogenase type A from Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541 overexpressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli/ADH-A) and the commercially available evo-1.1.200, while the Amberlite IRA-440 C and the DOWEX-MWA-1 resins allowed efficient in situ racemizations. Reaction conditions were optimized in terms of enzyme source and loading, type and amount of resin, pH, temperature and reaction times, obtaining a series of (R,R)-substituted propan-2-ols with good conversions and both diastereoselectivity and stereoselectivity. As a proof of concept, the subsequent intramolecular cyclization of a selected propan-2-ol substrate afforded a valuable isochroman heterocycle without any loss of the optical purity.

A mechanism study to identify the elements that control the chemoselectivity of metal-catalyzed N-atom transfer reactions of styryl azides is presented. Our studies show that the proclivity of the metal N-aryl nitrene to participate in sp3-C-H bond amination or electrocyclization reactions can be controlled by either the substrate or the catalyst. Electrocyclization is favored for mono-β-substituted and sterically noncongested styryl azides, whereas sp3-C-H bond amination through an H-atom abstraction-radical recombination mechanism is preferred when a tertiary allylic reaction center is present. Even when a weakened allylic C-H bond is present, our data suggest that the indole is still formed through an electrocyclization instead of a common allyl radical intermediate. The site selectivity of metal N-aryl nitrenes was found to be controlled by the choice of catalyst: Ir(I)-alkene complexes trigger electrocyclization processes while Fe(III) porphyrin complexes catalyze sp3-C-H bond amination in substrates where Rh2(II) carboxylate catalysts provide both products.
