Herein, we describe an isolable, air-stable, homogeneous, nickel catalyst that performs dehydrogenative cross-coupling reaction between secondary and primary alcohols to result α-alkylated ketone products selectively. The sequence of steps involve in this one-pot reaction is dehydrogenation of both alcohols, condensation between the ketone and the aldehyde, and hydrogenation of the in situ-generated α,β-unsaturated ketone. Preliminary mechanistic investigation hints a radical mechanism following borrowing hydrogen reaction. (Figure presented.).

A novel protocol is developed towards the preparation of alkylated ketones from alcohols in presence of catalytic amount of SmI2 and base with the elimination of water as a single by-product under microwave irradiation conditions. Furthermore, applicability of this methodology to the synthesis of Donepezil and late-stage functionalization in Pregnenolone is also reported. Successful application of this methodology in Friedl?nder quinolone synthesis using 2-aminobenzyl alcohol and various acetophenones expand the synthetic utility of this protocol.

The use of stoichiometric organoborane reductants in organic synthesis is well established. Here these reagents have been rendered catalytic through an isodesmic B-O/B-H transborylation applied in the borane-catalyzed, chemoselective alkene reduction and formal hydrofunctionalization of enones. The reaction was found to proceed by a 1,4-hydroboration of the enone and B-O/B-H transborylation with HBpin, enabling catalyst turnover. Single-turnover and isotopic labeling experiments supported the proposed mechanism of catalysis with 1,4-hydroboration and B-O/B-H transborylation as key steps.
