α-Methylation of Ketones with Methanol Catalyzed by Ni/SiO2-Al2O3

α-Methylation of ketones with methanol catalyzed by a cheap and easy to handle Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 was explored. After optimization of the reaction between propiophenone and methanol, the desired product was obtained in 95 % isolated yield. A wide range of ketones was methylated under the optimized conditions (16 examples). This procedure was extended to a three-component cross-benzylation-methylation of acetophenone.

Ir-catalysed formation of C-F bonds. From allylic alcohols to α-fluoroketones

A novel iridium-catalysed tandem isomerisation/C-F bond formation from allylic alcohols and Selectfluor to prepare α-fluorinated ketones as single constitutional isomers is reported.

Low Temperature Free-Radical Reactions Initiated with tert-Butyl p-Benzoylperbenzoate. Selective Acyl Radical Additions to Substituted Olefins

Competition experiments involving acyl radical additions to simple and electron-deficient olefins showed a definite preference for acylation of the latter olefin.This selectivity was significantly enhanced by using low temperature initiation with tert-butyl p-benzoylperbenzoate (1), which allows selective initiation of free-radical cyclization reactions that have synthetic importance.
