By combining catalytic nucleophilic enamine activation with Pd-catalyzed C-H activation of allylarenes, the first oxidative allylic alkylation of unactivated ketones was achieved. Mechanistically, the Pd-catalyzed allylic C-H activation and proline-catalyzed ketone nucleophilic activation worked synergistically for the oxidative cross-coupling between allylarenes and unactivated ketones.

Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive cross-coupling reactions provide rapid and modular access to enantioenriched building blocks from simple electrophile precursors. Reductive coupling reactions that can diverge through a common organometallic intermediate to two distinct families of enantioenriched products are particularly versatile but underdeveloped. Here, we describe the development of a bis(oxazoline) ligand that enables the desymmetrization of -anhydrides.

Herein, we report a formal C-C bond azidation and cyanation of unactivated aliphatic ketones using commercially available tosyl azide and cyanide, respectively. A visible-light-mediated organophotocatalyst enables radical azidation and cyanation of ketone-derived pro-aromatic dihydroquinazolinones (under mostly redox-neutral conditions) as supported by preliminary mechanistic studies. These metal-free and scalable protocols can be used to synthesize tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl azides and nitriles with good functional group tolerance and postsynthetic diversification of the azide group, including bioconjugation.

The first deoxygenative hydrosilylation of ketones promoted by samarium diiodide and samarium has been reported. In this approach, secondary alkyl silanes are synthesized from unactivated ketones and chlorosilanes in one step. The carbonyl group of ketones is activated by SmI-mediated single-electron transfer process, which follows a deoxygenative elimination of O=Sm.

Traditionally, this approach focuses on mononuclear centers, yet applying structural constraints to systems with element-element bonds remains underexplored. In this study, we introduce a cation featuring a structural constraint-elongated P-P bond that spontaneously adds to unactivated alkynes, alkenes, aldehydes, and ketones.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new method for arylating ketones using a photoredox catalyzed process that involves enamine formation from C(sp)-H bonds.
- This method effectively couples noncyclic ketones with aryl bromides and chlorides, yielding α-arylated ketones in moderate to good quantities under mild conditions.
- The technique successfully synthesizes various carbonyl α-arylated compounds that are relevant in natural products and pharmaceuticals.
