Ketones are of great importance in synthesis, biology, and pharmaceuticals. This paper reports an iridium complexes-catalyzed cross-coupling of alcohols via hydrogen borrowing, affording a series of α-alkylated ketones in high yield (86 %–95 %) and chemoselectivities (>99 : 1). This methodology has the advantages of low catalyst loading (0.1 mol%) and environmentally benign water as the solvent. Studies have shown the amount of base has a great impact on chemoselectivities. Meanwhile, deuteration experiments show water plays an important role in accelerating the reduction of the unsaturated ketones intermediates. Remarkably, a gram-scale experiment demonstrates this methodology of iridium-catalyzed cross-coupling of alcohols has potential application in the practical synthesis of α-alkylated ketones.

An effective process for the conversion of carboxylic acid to ketone has been discovered. In this process, carboxylic acid has been activated using p-toluene sulphonyl group. Under the optimized condition, aromatic, aliphatic heteroaromatic carboxylic acids have been proved to be good substrates for this methodology. The byproduct of this reaction can be removed very easily during work up process. Also, one equivalent of organometallic reagent is sufficient to complete this transformation.

Simple one pot procedure for the conversion of carboxylic acid to ketone is described. Various carboxylic acids were converted to the corresponding ketones in excellent manner in presence of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and organometallic reagents. Aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic acids were converted to the corresponding ketones smoothly under the optimum conditions using organolithium reagents. In this process, desired products have been isolated from the crude reaction mixtures in moderate yields during the purification process.
