Photo-Induced Dihydroxylation of Alkenes with Diacetyl, Oxygen, and Water

Herein reported is a photo-induced production of vicinal diols from alkenes under mild reaction conditions. The present dihydroxylation method using diacetyl (= butane-2,3-dione), oxygen, and water dispenses with toxic reagents and intractable waste generation.

Visible light-promoted dihydroxylation of styrenes with water and dioxygen

An efficient visible light promoted metal-free dihydroxylation of styrenes with water and dioxygen has been developed for the construction of vicinal alcohols. The protocol was operationally simple with a broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies demonstrated that one of the hydroxyl groups came from water and the other one came from molecular oxygen. Additionally, the β-alkyoxy alcohols could also be obtained using a similar strategy.

A simple primary amine catalyst for enantioselective α-hydroxylations and α-fluorinations of branched aldehydes

A new primary amine catalyst for the asymmetric α-hydroxylation and α-fluorination of α-branched aldehydes is described. The products of the title transformations are generated in excellent yields with high enantioselectivities. Both processes can be performed within short reaction times and on gram scale. The similarity in results obtained in both reactions, combined with computational evidence, implies a common basis for stereoinduction and the possibility of a general catalytic mechanism for α-functionalizations. Promising initial results in α-amination and α-chlorination reactions support this hypothesis.
