Phenanthroline and tert-butoxide have been established as powerful radical initiators in reactions such as the SRN1-type coupling reactions due to the cooperation of large heteroarenes and a special feature of tert-butoxide. The first phenanthroline-tert-butoxide-catalyzed transition-metal-free allylic isomerization is described. The resulting ketones are key intermediates for indenes. The control experiments rule out the base-promoted allylic anion pathway. The radical pathway is supported by experimental evidence that includes kinetic study, kinetic isotope effect, isotope-labeling experiments, trapping experiments, and EPR experiments.

Reaction of α-halogeno ketones with aldehydes in the presence of CeI3 in tetrahydrofuran is found to give α,β-unsaturated ketones in excellent yields under mild conditions.In contrast, treatment of α-halogeno ketones and carbonyl compounds with CeCl3-NaI or CeCl3-SnCl2 affords β-hydroxy ketones in good yields.It is assumed that these reactions proceed via cerium enolates.The combined reagents, however, cannot be applied to a Reformatsky-type reaction.Regiospecific and aldehyde chemoselective aldol synthesis are also described.
