indicate that the process goes through the oxidation of the alcohols with ruthenium (after a previous deprotonation) to yield the corresponding aldehyde and a ruthenium hydride intermediate. In turn, the aldehyde suffers a classical aldol reaction with the starting ketone to form the corresponding α,β-unsaturated ketone, which finally is reduced through a Michael-typeaddition by the aforementioned ruthenium

Acid chlorides can be activated using a simple iodide source to undergo nucleophilic attack from a variety of relatively weak nucleophiles. These include Friedel–Crafts acylation of N-methylpyrroles, N-acylation of sulfonamides, and acylation reactions of hindered phenol derivatives. The reaction is believed to proceed through a transient acidiodide intermediate.
A novel catalytic hydrogen‐autotransfer protocol for the atom‐efficient α‐alkylation of ketones with readily available alcohols is presented. The use of manganese complexes bearing non‐innocent PNP pincer ligands enabled the functionalization of a broad range of valuable ketones, including 2‐oxindole, estrone 3‐methyl ether, and testosterone. Mechanistic investigations suggest the participation of

C–C bonds using alcohols as the alkylating agents, generating water as the only byproduct. A broad range of substrates, including (hetero)aryl- or alkyl-ketones and alcohols, were well tolerated under the optimized conditions. Notably, α-substituted methylene ketones were also investigated, which afforded α-branched steric hindrance products. A potential application of α-alkylation of methylene acetone

1,5-Diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the regioselective Friedel−Crafts C-acylation of pyrroles and indoles in high yields. A detailed mechanistic study implies that DBN is acting as a nucleophilic organocatalyst, with the X-ray crystal structure of a key N-acyl-amidine intermediate having been determined for the first time.
