A widely applicable approach was developed to synthesize ketones, esters, amides via the oxidative C?C bond cleavage of readily available alkyl aldehydes. Green and abundant molecular oxygen (O2) was used as the oxidant, and base metals (cobalt and copper) were used as the catalysts. This strategy can be extended to the one-pot synthesis of ketones from primary alcohols and α-ketoamides from aldehydes.

The combination of a peptide catalyst and a gold catalyst is presented for enantioselective addition reactions between branched aldehydes and allenamides. The two catalysts act in concert to provide γ,δ-enamide aldehydes bearing a fully substituted, benzylic stereogenic center – a structural motif common in many natural products and therapeutically active compounds – with good yields and enantioselectivities. The reaction tolerates a variety of alkyl and alkoxy substituted aldehydes and the products can be elaborated into several chiral building blocks bearing either 1,4- or 1,5- functional group relationships. Mechanistic studies showed that the conformational features of the peptide are important for both the catalytic efficiency and stereochemistry, while a balance of acid/base additives is key for ensuring formation of the desired product over undesired side reactions.

Hydroformylation is a consolidated synthetic tool in the chemical industry, both in commodity and in the fine chemicals industry. Olefin metathesis has been largely employed in the petrochemical sector, and, more recently, in the synthesis of specialty chemicals. Although these reactions may be involved in the same synthetic route for various industrial chemicals, to the best of our knowledge, they have never been combined in a one-pot procedure. As a proof of concept, we have demonstrated in the present work that the ruthenium-catalyzed ethenolysis of renewable 1-propenylbenzenes followed by the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of functionalized styrenes formed in the first step could be done in one pot. The integration of these reactions was not straightforward once the catalyst of the first step interfered with the catalyst of the second step. Under optimized conditions, it was possible to synthesize 2-arylpropanals, a class of compounds valuable as synthetic intermediates to access non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in overall yields of 85-90%, at low catalyst loadings.
