We report a C?C bond-forming reaction between benzyl alcohols and alkynes in the presence of a catalytic amount of KOtBu to form α-alkylated ketones in which the C=O group is located on the side derived from the alcohol. The reaction proceeds under thermal conditions (125 °C) and produces no waste, making the reaction highly atom efficient, environmentally benign, and sustainable. Based on our mechanistic investigations, we propose that the reaction proceeds through radical pathways.

A silica supported palladium-NiXantphos complex is reported as an efficient and a high turnover heterogeneous catalyst for the N-alkylation of amines and the α-alkylation of ketones using readily available alcohols under neat conditions at 120-140 °C following hydrogen borrowing strategy. The catalyst is easily separable and offers negligible amount of palladium leaching (0.01 ppm). A high turnover number of about 46000 for the N-alkylation of amines and 4400 for the α-alkylation of ketones were achieved in the respective single batch reactions. The catalyst is recyclable up to four times without appreciable change in catalytic performance.
