A novel catalytic domino reductive hydroformylation-esterification of olefins is reported. The optimal protocol makes use of an inexpensive Ru carbonyl catalyst and uses acetic acid as both solvent and reactant. In general, moderate to good yields are obtained using aliphatic or aromatic olefins including industrially relevant di-isobutene. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to various acetate esters from unfunctionalized olefins.
Iron-Catalysed Remote C(sp3)?H Azidation of O-Acyl Oximes and N-Acyloxy Imidates Enabled by 1,5-Hydrogen Atom Transfer of Iminyl and Imidate Radicals: Synthesis of γ-Azido Ketones and β-Azido Alcohols

In the presence of a catalytic amount of iron(III) acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)3], the reaction of structurally diverse ketoxime esters with trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) afforded γ-azido ketones in good to excellent yields. This unprecedented distal γ-C(sp3)?H bond azidation reaction went through a sequence of reductive generation of an iminyl radical, 1,5-hydrogen atom transfer (1,5-HAT) and iron-mediated redox azido transfer to the translocated carbon radical. TMSN3 served not only as a nitrogen source to functionalise the unactivated C(sp3)?H bond, but also as a reductant to generate the catalytically active FeII species in situ. Based on the same principle, a novel β-C(sp3)?H functionalisation of alcohols via N-acyloxy imidates was subsequently realised, leading, after hydrolysis of the resulting ester, to β-azido alcohols, which are important building blocks in organic and medicinal chemistry.

An environmental friendly process to selectively acetylate primary alcohols was demonstrated. The esterification process consists of treatment of a primary alcohol in the presence of immobilized C. antarctica lipase (Novozyme-435) in ethyl acetate at room temperature. Primary alcohols were acetylated in the presence of secondary alcohols and phenols.
