We report a catalytic method to access secondary alcohols by the coupling of aryl iodides. Either aldehydes or alcohols can be used as reaction partners, making the transformation reductive or redox-neutral, respectively. The reaction is mediated by a Ni catalyst and a 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane. This P2N2ligand, which has previously been unrecognized in cross-coupling and related reactions, was found to avoid deleterious aryl halide reduction pathways that dominate with more traditional phosphines and NHCs. An interrupted carbonyl-Heck type mechanism is proposed to be operative, with a key 1,2-insertion step forging the new C-C bond and forming a nickel alkoxide that may be turned over by an alcohol reductant. The same catalyst was also found to enable synthesis of ketone products from either aldehydes or alcohols, demonstrating control over the oxidation state of both the starting materials and products.

The invention relates to a synthetic method for a diaryl-substituted ethanol compound serving as a medical intermediate shown as a formula (III). The method comprises the following steps: reacting a compound shown as a formula (I) and a compound shown as a formula (II) in a hermetic way in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst and an alkali; performing posttreatment at the end of the reaction to obtain a compound shown as the formula (III), wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from H, alkyl with 1-6 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1-6 carbon atoms or halogen; or R2 and a benzene ring which is connected with the R2 form a naphthalene ring. According to the synthetic method, the diaryl-substituted ethanol compound can be obtained at a high yield through comprehensive selection and coordination of a specific reaction substrate, the catalyst, the alkali and the organic solvent, and has good application prospect and industrial production potential in the field of synthesis of medical intermediates.
Cadmium-mediated carbonyl benzylation in tap water

Zn/CdCl2 has been developed as a mediator in the benzylation of various aldehydes in tap water affording the corresponding alcohols in moderate to good yields. The addition of a catalytic amount of InCl3 increases the yield of benzylation product significantly. It can selectively mediate the benzylation of aldehydes in the presence of ketones. A mechanism involving the formation of a cation π-complex is proposed based on the experimental facts. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
