A novel and regioselective approach to carbonyl-containing alkyl chlorides via silver-catalyzed ring-opening chlorination of cycloalkanols is reported. Concurrent C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) bond cleavage and C(sp(3))-Cl bond formation efficiently occur with good yields under mild conditions, and the chlorinated products are readily transformed into other useful synthetic intermediates and drugs. The reaction features complete regioselectivity, high efficiency, and excellent practicality.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different sugars and amino acids in green coffee beans affect the formation of harmful compounds like neoformed furan, alkyl furans, and acrylamide during roasting.
- Results indicate a strong link between sucrose levels and furan formation, while acrylamide production is closely related to the presence of free asparagine.
- A larger pool of amino acids seems to promote acrylamide creation through Maillard reactions, whereas a smaller amino acid pool leads to increased furan formation due to sugar degradation processes.
Synthesis of oxetane and azetidine ethers as ester isosteres by Brønsted acid catalysed alkylation of alcohols with 3-aryl-oxetanols and 3-aryl-azetidinols.

Oxetanes and azetidines continue to draw significant interest in medicinal chemistry, as small, polar and non-planar motifs. Oxetanes also represent interesting surrogates for carbonyl-containing functional groups. Here we report a synthesis of 3,3-disubstituted oxetane- and azetidine-ethers, with comparisons made to the ester functional group.

We describe the development of a general palladium-catalyzed carbonylative method to synthesize acyl fluorides from aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and functionalized organic halides. Mechanistic analysis suggests that the reaction proceeds the synergistic combination of visible light photoexcitation of Pd(0) to induce oxidative addition with a ligand-favored reductive elimination. These together create a unidirectional catalytic cycle that is uninhibited by the classical effect of carbon monoxide coordination.

Enolate alkylation and conjugate addition into an α,β-unsaturated system have served as long-standing strategic disconnections for the installation of α- or β-substituents on carbonyl-containing compounds. At the onset of our efforts to develop C-H activation reactions for organic synthesis, we set our eye toward developing asymmetric β-C-H activation reactions of aliphatic acids with the perspective that this bond-forming event could serve as a more flexible retrosynthetic surrogate for both canonical carbonyl-related asymmetric transformations.In this Account, we describe our early efforts using strongly coordinating chiral oxazolines to probe reaction mechanism and the stereochemical nature of the C-H cleavage transition state.

Herein we demonstrate the first successful application of cycloalkyl silyl peroxides (CSP) as an electrophilic coupling partner in the cross-electrophile coupling reaction. Diverse CSP are efficiently cross-coupled with an array of α-trifluoromethyl alkenes under the catalysis of nickel with the assistance of zinc as the reducing agent. This method allows the use of unstrained CSP as the carbonyl-containing alkyl source in the allylic defluorinative reaction, to access a variety of -difluoroalkenes bearing a pendent ketone moiety with high functionality tolerance.
