Enantioselective α-Arylation of Ketones via a Novel Cu(I)-Bis(phosphine) Dioxide Catalytic System

A novel catalytic system based on copper(I) and chiral bis(phosphine) dioxides is described. This allows the arylation of silyl enol ethers to access enolizable α-arylated ketones in good yields and enantiomeric excess up to 95%. Noncyclic ketones are amenable substrates with this method, which complements other approaches based on palladium catalysis. Optimization of the ligand structure is accomplished via rational design driven by correlation analysis. Preliminary mechanistic hypotheses are also evaluated in order to identify the role of chiral bis(phosphine) dioxides.

Anodic oxidation triggered divergent 1,2- And 1,4-group transfer reactions of β-hydroxycarboxylic acids enabled by electrochemical regulation

We report a set of electrochemically regulated protocols for the divergent synthesis of ketones and β-keto esters from the same β-hydroxycarboxylic acid starting materials. Enabled by electrochemical control, the anodic oxidation of carboxylic acids proceeded in either a one-electron or a two-electron pathway, leading to a 1,4-aryl transfer or a semipinacol-type 1,2-group transfer product with excellent chemoselectivity. The 1,4-aryl transfer represents an unprecedented example of carbon-to-oxygen group transfer proceeding via a radical mechanism. In contrast to previously reported radical group transfer reactions, this 1,4-group transfer process features the migration of electron-rich aryl substituents. Furthermore, with these chemoselective electrochemical oxidation protocols, a range of ketones and β-keto esters including those possessing a challenging-to-access medium-sized ring could be synthesized in excellent yields.

Thianthrenation-enabled α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with arenes

The Pd-catalyzed α-arylation of carbonyl compounds with simple arenes enabled by site-selective thianthrenation has been demonstrated. This onepot process using thianthrenium salts as the traceless arylating reagents features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope. In addition, this protocol could also tolerate the heterocyclic carbonyl compounds and complex bioactive molecules, which is appealing for medicinal chemistry.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladacyclic complexes: synthesis, characterization and their applications in the C-N coupling and α-arylation of ketones using aryl chlorides

N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladacyclic complexes 3 were successfully achieved in a one-pot procedure under mild conditions. The structure of 3a was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction and it was an active catalyst in the Buchwald-Hartwig amination and α-arylation of ketones even at very low catalyst loadings (0.01 mol%).

Fe(III)-mediated isomerization of α,α-diarylallylic alcohols to ketones: Via radical 1,2-aryl migration

An Fe(iii)-mediated radical 1,2-aryl migration of α,α-diarylallylic alcohols for the isomerization to ketones is described. The Fe(acac)3-silane would convert the alkene to an alkyl radical and initiates a 1,2-aryl migration-oxidation process. Thus Fe(acac)3 serves as an olefin hydrogen atom transfer initiator and oxidant, while various allylic alcohols could isomerize to ketones in moderate to good yields.

ASYMMETRIC PINACOL-TYPE REARRANGEMENT OF α-HYDROXY METHANESULFONATES PROMOTED BY TRIETHYLALUMINIUM - PREPARATION OF OPTICALLY PURE α-ARYL AND α-VINIL KETONES -

Asymmetric (stereospecific) pinacol-type rearrangement of aryl or vinyl group in α-hydroxy methansulfonates is promoted by Et3Al in CH2Cl2 at -78 grad C to afford optically pure α-aryl or α-vinyl ketones
