The photochemistry of several phenyl alkyl and p-anisyl alkyl ketones has been examined using laser flash photolysis and conventional quantum yield techniques.The methoxy-substituted ketones show higher activation energies (ΔEa ca. 3 kcal mol-1) for the Norrish type I and type II processes.It is concluded that both reactions are adiabatic processes occurring from the triplet n? surface.In the case of p-methoxy-substituted ketones the upper n? surface is reached from the low-lying ?? triplet, with the energy gap between both states reflected as an increase in the activation energy.

One-pot synthesis of α-methyl ketones starting from 1,3-diaryl propenols or 1-aryl propenols and methanol as a C1 source is demonstrated. This one-pot isomerization-methylation is catalyzed by commercially available Pd(OAc)2 with H2O as the only by-product. Mechanistic studies and deuterium labelling experiments indicate the involvement of isomerization of allyl alcohol followed by methylation through a hydrogen-borrowing pathway in these isomerization-methylation reactions.

The first synthesis of highly strained spirocyclobutane-pyrrolines via a palladium-catalyzed tandem Narasaka-Heck/C(sp3 or sp2)-H activation reaction is reported here. The key step in this transformation is the activation of a δ-C-H bond via an in situ generated σ-alkyl-Pd(II) species to form a five-membered spiro-palladacycle intermediate. The concerted metalation-deprotonation (CMD) process, rate-determining step, and energy barrier of the entire reaction were explored by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, a series of control experiments was conducted to probe the rate-determining step and reversibility of the C(sp3)-H activation step.
Facile preparation of 5-alkyl-1-aryltetrazoles with arenes, acyl chlorides, hydroxylamine, and diphenylphosphoryl azide

Successive treatment of arenes with acyl chlorides and AlCl3, the addition of water and removal of solvent, the reaction with NH2OH?HCl and K2CO3, and the reaction with diphenylphosphoryl azide and DBU under warming conditions gave the corresponding 5-alkyl-1-aryltetrazoles efficiently in good to moderate yields. The present method is one-pot transformation of arenes into 5-alkyl-1-aryltetrazoles using the Friedel-Crafts acylation and the Beckmann rearrangement under transition-metal-free conditions.
