Article Abstract
An iridium complex-catalyzed reductive etherification of α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes with primary alcohols is presented, affording allyl ethers in excellent yields. Deuterated and control experiments showed that this etherification transformation proceeded through a cascade transfer hydrogenation and alcohol condensation process. Moreover, the utility of this protocol is evidenced by the gram-scale performance.

Traditional etherification methods, although staples in synthetic chemistry, often fall short in the efficient construction of sterically hindered dialkyl ethers, especially under mild and practical conditions. Recent advances have attempted to address these limitations, typically relying on transition metal catalysts, external reductants, or harsh reaction conditions. In this work, we disclose a novel electrochemical approach that enables the synthesis of sterically hindered ethers from economically relevant and readily accessible alcohols without the need for sacrificial oxidants.

Acid catalysed reductive etherification of -propargyl amino alcohols for the stereoselective synthesis of -2,5/2,6-disubstituted morpholines and -2,6/2,7-disubstituted oxazepanes has been developed. Mechanistic studies revealed that terminal alkynols gave morpholines a 6- hydroalkoxylation-isomerization-reduction cascade. Interestingly, an alkyne hydration-cyclization-reduction sequence is found to be involved in the formation of oxazepanes from alkyl substituted internal alkynols.

ConspectusAromatic esters are cost-effective, versatile, and commonly used scaffolds that are readily synthesized or encountered as synthetic intermediates. While most conventional reactions involving these esters are nucleophilic acyl substitutions or 1,2-nucleophilic additions─where a nucleophile attacks the carbonyl group, decarbonylative transformations offer an alternative pathway by using the carbonyl group as a leaving group. This transition-metal-catalyzed process typically begins with oxidative addition of the C(acyl)-O bond to the metal.

Article Synopsis
- - Researchers successfully synthesized ZSM-5 zeolite nanosheets (Z-5-SCA-X) across a pH range of 4 to 13 without any additional supplements, addressing challenges of acidic zeolite synthesis.
- - The study revealed that the crystallization of Z-5-SC, an essential component of the zeolite, follows non-classical processes under mild conditions and combines aspects of classical and non-classical processes under high pH.
- - Results indicate that controlling the pH during synthesis affects the silanol nest content in the zeolite, which significantly improves its catalytic performance, offering a new perspective on zeolite synthesis and functionality.
Diastereoselective Reductive Etherification Via High-Throughput Experimentation: Access to Pharmaceutically Relevant Alkyl Ethers.

This manuscript describes the development of the first diastereoselective intermolecular synthesis of alkyl ethers via reductive etherification of diverse ketones or aldehydes with alcohols. Key to this development was the use of low-temperature high-throughput experimentation (HTE) technologies that enabled rapid reaction optimizations and parallel synthesis. A broad scope of pharmaceutically relevant substrates was surveyed, which formed alkyl ethers effectively.
