Herein, we demonstrate a general and broadly applicable catalytic cross coupling of methylene ketones and secondary alcohols with a series of primary alcohols to disubstituted branched ketones. A simple and nonprecious Fe2(CO)9 catalyst enables one-pot oxidations of both primary and secondary alcohols to a range of branched gem-bis(alkyl) ketones. A number of bond activations and formations selectively occurred in one pot to provide the ketone products. Coupling reactions can be performed in gram scale and successfully applied in the synthesis of an Alzehimer's drug. Alkylation of a steroid hormone can be achieved. A single catalyst enables sequential one-pot double alkylation to bis-hetero aryl ketones using two different alcohols. Preliminary mechanistic studies using an IR probe, deuterium labeling, and kinetic experiments established the participation of a borrowing-hydrogen process using Fe catalyst, and the reaction produces H2 and H2O as byproducts.

The catalytic alkylation of ketones with alcohols via the hydrogen borrowing methodology (HB) has the potential to be a highly efficient approach for forming new carbon-carbon bonds. However, this transformation can result in more than one product being formed. The work reported here utilises bidentate triazole-carbene ligated iridium and rhodium complexes as catalysts for the selective formation of alkylated ketone or alcohol products. Switching from an iridium centre to a rhodium centre in the complex resulted in significant changes in product selectivity. Other factors-base, base loading, solvent and reaction temperature-were also investigated to tune the selectivity further. The optimised conditions were used to demonstrate the scope of the reaction across 17 ketones and 14 alcohols containing a variety of functional groups. A series of mechanistic investigations were performed to probe the reasons behind the product selectivity, including kinetic and deuterium studies.

The catalytic activity of Mg-Al hydrotalcite supported copper catalyst was investigated for clean CC and CN bond forming reactions using alcohols as alkylating agent via borrowing hydrogen methodology. The catalyst showed excellent conversion of ketone and amine substrates (71-99%) to alkylated products with high selectivity in alkylation reactions.
