Facile access to chiral ketones through metal-free oxidative C-C bond cleavage of aldehydes by O2 by Tiwari, Bhoopendra, Zhang, Junming, Chi, Robin Yonggui

“…Giving the metal the boot: The title reaction provides facile access to functionalized chiral ketones from chiral α,α′-disubstituted aldehydes in the presence of molecular oxygen (see scheme). The CC bond-cleavage approach offers an alternative or better method relative to the typical bond-forming strategies used in synthesizing chiral ketones.…”

Direct β-activation of saturated aldehydes to formal michael acceptors through oxidative NHC catalysis by Mo, Junming, Shen, Liang, Chi, Robin Yonggui

“…Without detours: Oxidative catalysis mediated by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) enables the direct β-carbon functionalization of saturated aldehydes (see scheme). The reaction proceeds through two sequential oxidative steps to generate ,β-unsaturated triazolium ester equivalents as formal Michael acceptors, which react with 1,3-diketones and β-ketone esters in an enantioselective manner.…”
