Scalable synthesis of vicinal quaternary stereocenters via the solid-state photodecarbonylation of a crystalline hexasubstituted ketone

We report the synthesis and stereospecific solid-state photodecarbonylation of a hexasubstituted ketone featuring six distinct α-substituents. The photoproduct of the solid-state transformation features vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. While reactions carried out in bulk powders and aqueous crystalline suspensions were complicated by secondary photochemistry of the primary photoproduct, optimal conditions provided good yields and recyclable starting material. Subsequent transformations of the α-substituents having orthogonal chemical reactivity illustrate the potential of this transformation toward constructing complex architectures.

Selective Mono-methylation of Arylacetonitriles and Methyl Arylacetates by Dimethyl Carbonate

Both arylacetonitriles and methyl arylacetates react with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) (20 molar excess) at 180 - 200 deg C in the presence of K2CO3 to produce monomethylated 2-arylpropionitriles and methyl 2-arylpropionates, respectively, with a selectivity >99.5percent.The reaction, with wide application, proceeds by DMC acting as a methoxycarbonylating agent towards the ArCH-X anion (X = CN, CO2Me) and as a methylating agent to ArC-(CO2Me)X.DMC also proved to be the best solvent for such reactions.
