Herein, we report a photocatalytic procedure that enables the acylation/arylation of unfunctionalized alkyl derivatives in flow. The method exploits the ability of the decatungstate anion to act as a hydrogen atom abstractor and produce nucleophilic carbon-centered radicals that are intercepted by a nickel catalyst to ultimately forge C(sp3)?C(sp2) bonds. Owing to the intensified conditions in flow, the reaction time can be reduced from 12–48 hours to only 5–15 minutes. Finally, kinetic measurements highlight how the intensified conditions do not change the reaction mechanism but reliably speed up the overall process.

Direct conversion of aldehydes to ketones is achieved via rhodium-catalyzed vinyl triflate-aldehyde reductive coupling-redox isomerization mediated by potassium formate. This method circumvents premetalated C-nucleophiles and discrete redox manipulations typically required to form ketones from aldehydes.

Recent trends in research have gained an orientation toward developing efficient strategies using innocuous reagents. The earlier reported transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylations involved either toxic carbon monoxide (CO) gas as carbonylating agent or functional-group-assisted ortho sp2 C-H activation (i.e., ortho acylation) or carbonylation by activation of the carbonyl group (i.e., via the formation of enamines). Contradicting these methods, here we describe an environmentally benign process, [Pd]-catalyzed direct carbonylation starting from simple and commercially available iodo arenes and aldehydes, for the synthesis of a wide variety of ketones. Moreover, this method comprises direct coupling of iodoarenes with aldehydes without activation of the carbonyl and also without directing group assistance. Significantly, the strategy was successfully applied to the synthesis n-butylphthalide and pitofenone.
Na-promoted aerobic oxidation of alcohols to ketones

Aerobic oxidation of a number of diaryl and arylalkyl carbinols to ketones was promoted by Na in THF at room temperature with up to 99% yield. This new oxidation method is also selective with good efficiency for the oxidation of benzylic secondary alcohols but not for a primary alcohol or nonbenzylic secondary alcohols. Under nitrogen, a catalytic amount of Ni or transition metal halides such as CoCl3, FeCl3, and NiCl3 in combination with Na was also found to conduct a dehydrogenation of a secondary alcohol to the corresponding ketone in high yield at room temperature.
Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Arenes Catalysed by Bromopentacarbonylrhenium(I)
Kusama, Hiroyuki,Narasaka, Koichi
, p. 2379 - 2384 (2007/10/03)
The intermolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of aromatic compounds (such as toluene, m-xylene, and anisole) with various acid chlorides proceeds by using a catalytic amount of bromopentacarbonylrhenium(I) to afford aryl ketones.Intramolecular acylation is also catalyzed by the above-mentioned catalyst to give indanone and tetralone derivatives.
