An enantioselectiveketone hydroacylation enables the direct preparation of lactones from keto alcohols. The alcohol is oxidized in situ to an aldehyde, obviating the need to prepare sensitive keto aldehyde substrates. Noyori's asymmetric transferhydrogenationcatalyst was applied to address challenges of reactivity, chemoselectivity, and enantioselectivity.

Cobalt-chiral diphoshine catalytic systems promote intramolecular hydroacylation reactions of 2-acylbenzaldehydes and 2-alkenylbenzaldehydes to afford phthalide and indanone derivatives, respectively, in moderate to good yields with high enantioselectivities. The ketone hydroacylation did not exhibit a significant H/D kinetic isotope effect (KIE) with respect to the aldehyde C-H bond, indicating that C-H activation would not be involved in the rate-limiting step.
