CeCl3/Sm promoted pinacolic coupling of aromatic aldehydes and ketones

The pinacolic coupling of aromatic aldehydes and ketone was performed with cerium trichloride and samarium in THF at room temperature to afford the corresponding 1,2-diols in good yields.

Bifunctional copper-based photocatalyst for reductive pinacol-type couplings

A bifunctional copper-based photocatalyst has been prepared that employs a pyrazole-pyridine ligand incorporating a sulfonamide moiety that functions as an intramolecular hydrogen-bond donor for a photochemical PCET process. In typical reductive PCET processes, the photocatalyst and H-bond donor must have an appropriate redox potential and pKa, respectively, to promote the PCET. When working in concert in a bifunctional catalyst such as Cu(pypzs)(BINAP)BF4, the pKa of the H-bond donor can have an acidity that is orders of magnitude less and still efficiently promote the PCET process. A reductive pinacol-type coupling can be performed using a base-metal derived photocatalyst to afford valuable diols (24 examples, 46-99% yield), from readily available aldehydes and ketones.

Pinacol coupling reaction of aromatic aldehydes mediated by aqueous vanadium(II) solution under ultrasound irradiation

Pinacol coupling of aromatic aldehydes by aqueous vanadium(II) solution under ultrasound irradiation at room temperature can lead to the corresponding pinacols in 54-93% yields within 15-30 min. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.
