We present a mild and direct method for the radical borylation of simple aliphatic aldehydes. By employing an enamine and a photocatalyst under light irradiation, aldehydes can be transformed effectively into alkyl boronic esters via a formal decarbonylative process. This alternative route for radical borylation synthesis can not only be applied to the transformation of primary, secondary, and tertiary aldehydes but also be adapted to other radical conversion reactions through the generated alkyl radical intermediate. Mechanistic studies indicate that 4-alkyl-1,4-dihydropyridines, formed in situ from the aldehyde and enamine, are the key intermediate for the borylation process.

The electrocatalytic utilization of oxidized nitrogen waste for C-N coupling chemistry is an exciting research area with great potential to be adopted as a sustainable method for generation of organonitrogen molecules. The most widely used C-N coupling reaction is reductive amination. In this work, we develop an alternative electrochemical reductive amination reaction that can proceed in neutral aqueous electrolyte with nitrite as the nitrogenous reactant and via an oxime intermediate.

A new protocol for preparing thioesters from the corresponding methyl esters was developed using PrMgCl and odorless 1-dodecanthiol, CHSH, under mild reaction conditions, during which in situ-generated CHSMgCl selectively reacted with the carbonyl group of esters. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic esters were readily converted in up to 99% yield with excellent functional group tolerance. Furthermore, based on the quantitative formation of the thioesters, we successfully applied our method to a one-pot synthesis of ketones and aldehydes from esters.

Herein, we showed the utilization of a Mg complex Mg-1 as a catalyst in cyanosilylation reactions involving a number of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, conducted under mild reaction conditions. Although complex Mg-1 demonstrated its effectiveness in this transformation, complexes Mg-2 and Mg-3 yielded lower amounts of cyanosilylated products, highlighting the influence of the ligand spacer in catalytic activity. To further assess this effect, a mononuclear magnesium complex, Mg-4, was synthesized and the catalytic performance of Mg-4 in the cyanosilylation of aldehydes was found to be lower than that of Mg-1.

Unsaturated alcohols (UOLs) are important fine chemical intermediates. Thus, it is of great significance to design and prepare catalysts for highly selective hydrogenation of CO of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (UALs). In this paper, a fluffy mesoporous AlO-supported Ag-InO catalyst (Ag-InO/-AlO) was synthesized by employing a two-solvent method, in which Ag and InO form a Mott-Schottky junction and lead to electron transfer from InO to Ag.
