, p. 413 - 419 (2021/11/01)
One-pot synthesis of α-methyl ketones starting from 1,3-diaryl propenols or 1-aryl propenols and methanol as a C1 source is demonstrated. This one-pot isomerization-methylation is catalyzed by commercially available Pd(OAc)2 with H2O as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies and deuterium labelling experiments indicate the involvement of isomerization of allyl alcohol followed by methylation through a hydrogen-borrowing pathway in these isomerization-methylation reactions.

We report that the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of aliphatic and (hetero)aromatic amides by organolithium reagents proceeds quickly (20 s reaction time), efficiently, and chemoselectively with a broad substrate scope in the environmentally responsible cyclopentyl methyl ether, at ambient temperature and under air, to provide ketones in up to 93 % yield with an effective suppression of the notorious over-addition reaction. Detailed DFT calculations and NMR investigations support the experimental results. The described methodology was proven to be amenable to scale-up and recyclability protocols. Contrasting classical procedures carried out under inert atmospheres, this work lays the foundation for a profound paradigm shift of the reactivity of carboxylic acid amides with organolithiums, with ketones being straightforwardly obtained by simply combining the reagents under aerobic conditions and with no need of using previously modified or pre-activated amides, as recommended.

Herein, we report that merging palladium catalysis with hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) photocatalysis enabled direct arylations and alkenylations of aldehyde C-H bonds, facilitating visible light-catalyzed construction of a variety of ketones. Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate and anthraquinone were found to act as synergistic HAT photocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations suggested a Pd0-PdII-PdIII-PdI-Pd0 pathway and revealed that regeneration of the Pd0 catalyst and the photocatalyst occurs simultaneously in the presence of KHCO3. This regeneration features a low energy barrier, promoting efficient coupling of the palladium catalytic cycle with the photocatalytic cycle. The work reported herein suggests great promise for further applications of HAT photocatalysis in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and C-H functionalization reactions to be successful.

The radical–radical coupling reaction is an important synthetic strategy. In this study, the iron-catalyzed radical–radical cross-coupling reaction based on the decarboxylation of keto acids and decarbonylation of aliphatic aldehydes to obtain valuable aryl ketones is reported for the first time. Remarkably, when tertiary aldehydes were used as carbonyl sources, ketone esters were selectively obtained instead of ketones. The gram-scale preparation of aryl ketone through this strategy was easily achieved by using only 3 mol % of the iron catalyst. As a proof-of-concept, the bioactive molecule flurprimidol was synthesized in two steps by using this strategy.

The invention discloses a method for preparing an aryl ketone derivative based on a free radical-free radical cross-coupling reaction such as ketonic acid decarboxylation and fatty aldehyde de-carbonylation. The method comprises the following steps: reacting aryl-substituted ketonic acid with fatty aldehyde under the catalytic action of ferric triacetylacetonate to generate an aryl ketone derivative; the gram-grade reaction can be realized by the method only by using 3mol% of an iron catalyst; and the method has the advantages of no need of consumption of a large amount of a Lewis acid catalyst or a stoichiometric organic metal reagent, mild reaction conditions, one-step reaction, few by-products, wide substrate application range and scalable reaction, and overcomes the defects of large catalyst consumption, insufficient functional group tolerance, many by-products and the like in the prior art.

A one-pot iron-catalyzed conversion of allylic alcohols to α-methyl ketones has been developed. This isomerization-methylation strategy utilized a (cyclopentadienone)iron(0) carbonyl complex as precatalyst and methanol as the C1 source. A diverse range of allylic alcohols undergoes isomerization-methylation to form α-methyl ketones in good isolated yields (up to 84% isolated yield).
Cross-Coupling of Secondary Amides with Tertiary Amides: The Use of Tertiary Amides as Surrogates of Alkyl Carbanions for Ketone Synthesis

, p. 887 - 891 (2019/07/18)
In recent years, exciting progress has been made in the field of direct transformation of amides, nevertheless, the condensation between two amides remains rare and restricted to homo-coupling reactions. Herein, we report the cross-coupling of secondary amides with tertiary amides, which provides a synthesis of ketones under mild conditions, and features the use of tertiary amides as surrogates of alkyl carbanions. The method relies on the coupling of enamines, generated from tertiary amides by catalytic partial reduction of tertiary amides with Vaska's catalyst, with nitrilium ions, formed in situ from secondary amides via activation with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, and on the subsequent deformylation.

Chen, Po-Hao,Liu, Yi-Hung,Liu, Shiuh-Tzung
, p. 972 - 981 (2019/05/24)
Iridium(III) complexes containing a designed ligand, 2-amino-7-(2-pyridinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine derivative, were prepared and all complexes were characterized using spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. These new Ir(III) complexes are able to act as catalysts for the C-alkylation of aryl alkyl ketones with the use of alcohols as the alkylating agent. Typically, acetophenone undergoes alkylation with methanol and ethanol to yield isobutyrophenone and butyrophenone, respectively.
