Synthesis of α-methyl ketones by a selective, iridium-catalyzed cyclopropanol ring-opening reaction
摘要:
A mild method for synthesizing a-methyl ketones from substituted cyclopropanols is reported. This process, catalyzed by [Cp*IrCl2](2), cleaves cyclopropanol rings regioselectively and more efficiently than the other conditions examined. While tertiary cyclopropanols afford a-methyl ketones, secondary cyclopropanols and cyclopropyl silyl ethers are less reactive and yield other isomerization products. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

The rhodium‐catalyzed methylation of ketones has been accomplished using methanol as the methylating agent and the hydrogen‐borrowing method. The sequence is notable for the relatively low temperatures that are required and for the ability of the reaction system to form α‐branched products with ease. Doubly alkylated ketones can be prepared from methyl ketones and two different alcohols by using a
The borrowing hydrogen strategy has been applied in the synthesis of α-branched methylated ketones via a tandem three-component reaction catalyzed by a diaminocyclopentadienone iron tricarbonyl complex. Various alkyl and aromatic methyl ketones underwent dialkylation with various primary alcohols and methanol as alkylating agents in mild reaction conditions and good yields.

Ru(II) catalyzed tandemsynthesis of α-branched methylated ketones via multicomponent reactions following the hydrogen borrowing process is described. This nonphosphine-based air and moisture stable catalyst efficiently produced various methylated ketones using methanol as a methylating agent. This system was found to be highly effective in three-componentcoupling between methanol, primary alcohols
An electron rich, new co-operative iridium(III) complex catalysed tandem conversion of α,β-unsaturated ketones to the α-methylated ketones is described using methanol. Employing this chemoselective protocol, reductive methylation of a wide range of chalcone derivatives, variety of aryl and aliphatic fragment containing α,β-unsaturated ketones along with few biologically important molecules were effectively

Tandem transformation of α,β-unsaturated ketones to α-methylated ketones by utilizing methanol as both the hydrogen and C1 sources is reported in the presence of a phosphine-free bis-N-heterocyclic carbene-Mn(I) (bis-NHC-Mn(I)) catalyst. The dehydrogenative coupling between methanol and α,β-unsaturated ketones produces the corresponding α-methylated ketones along with 1 equiv of formaldehyde and water
