Efficient method for the preparation of pinacols derived from aromatic and aliphatic ketones by using low-valent titanium reagents in dichloromethane-pivalonitrile
aldehydes and ketones, including unsymmetrical aliphatic ketones, proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding pinacols in good to high yields under mild conditions by using combination of titanium(II) chloride and zinc or titanium(IV) chloride and zinc in dichloromethane-pivalonitrile. Meso-selective formation of the coupling products was observed in the cases of some aliphatic ketones. The diastereoselectivities

level and energy band as a readily isolable and recyclable heterogeneous photoredox catalyst for radical coupling reactions. Using the carbonyl coupling reaction as a proof-of-concept, herein, we report a photo-pinacol coupling reaction catalyzed by GaN nanowires under ambient light at room temperature with methanol as a solvent and sacrificial reagent. By simply tuning the dopant, the GaN nanowire shows

A reaction of aryl ketones with phenyltitanium triisopropoxide ([PhTi(Oi-Pr)3]) in the presence of [Fe(acac)3] as a catalyst (1 mol %) gave the corresponding pinacols in high yields. The catalytic cycle of this process involves an iron-catalyzed disproportionation of [PhTi(Oi-Pr)3] into biphenyl and a low-valent titanium species.

Efficientcarbon–carbonbondformation is of great importance in modern organic synthetic chemistry. The pinacol coupling discovered over a century ago is still one of the most efficient coupling reactions to build the C–C bond in one step. However, traditional pinacol coupling often requires over-stoichiometric amounts of active metals as reductants, causing long-lasting metal waste issues and sustainability
高效的碳-碳键形成在现代有机合成化学中非常重要。一个多世纪前发现的频哪醇偶联仍然是一步构建 C-C 键的最有效偶联反应之一。然而,传统频哪醇偶联通常需要过量化学计量的活性金属作为还原剂,从而导致长期存在的金属废料问题和可持续性问题。一个巨大的科学挑战是设计一种无金属的频哪醇偶联反应方法。在这里,我们描述了一种光驱动频哪醇耦合协议,不使用任何金属,但使用 N 2 H 4,用作清洁的非金属氢原子转移 (HAT) 还原剂。在这种转化中,只有无痕无毒的N 2和H 2气体作为副产物产生,具有相对广泛的芳香酮范围和良好的官能团耐受性。对该机制的实验和计算研究表明,这种新颖的频哪醇偶联反应是通过光激发酮和 N 2 H 4之间的 HAT 过程进行的,而不是金属还原剂的常见单电子转移 (SET) 过程。

auxiliaries also resisted deoxygenation completely to give the pinacols in higher yields and better diastereoselectivity, as compared to pyridine-modified LVT system. Amongst these modified reagents, the LVT−catechol (1:1) system was found to be the most efficient combination for total pinacolization of aromatic carbonyl compounds, even under refluxing conditions. The actual titanium reagent responsible
