Pd-catalyzed carbonylation, as an efficient synthetic approach to the installation of carbonyl groups in organic compounds, has been one of the most important research fields in the past decade. Although elegant reactions that allow highly selective carbonylations have been developed, straightforward routes with improved reaction activity and broader substrate scope remain long-term challenges for new practical applications. Here, we show a new type of synergistic Cu/Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction using alcohols and dioxgen as the carbonyl sources. A broad range of aryl iodides and alcohols are compatible with this protocol. The reaction is concise and practical due to the ready availability of the starting materials and the scalability of the reaction. In addition, the reaction affords lactones and lactams in an intermolecular fashion. Moreover, DFT calculations have been performed to study the detailed mechanisms.

Enolate-Based Regioselective Anti-Beckmann C-C Bond Cleavage of Ketones

The Baeyer-Villiger or Beckmann rearrangements are established methods for the cleavage of ketone derivatives under acidic conditions, proceeding for unsymmetrical precursors selectively at the more substituted site. However, the fragmentation regioselectivity cannot be switched and fragmentation at the less-substituted terminus is so far not possible. We report here that the reaction of ketone enolates with commercial alkyl nitrites provides a direct and regioselective way of fragmenting ketones into esters and oximes or ω-hydroxyimino esters, respectively. A comprehensive study of the scope of this reaction with respect to ketone classes and alkyl nitrites is presented. Control over the site of cleavage is gained through regioselective enolate formation by various bases. Oxidation of kinetic enolates of unsymmetrical ketones leads to the otherwise unavailable "anti-Beckmann"cleavage at the less-substituted side chain, while cleavage of thermodynamic enolates of the same ketones represents an alternative to the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation or the Beckmann rearrangement under basic conditions. The method is suited for the transformation of natural products and enables access to orthogonally reactive dicarbonyl compounds.

A general method for the hydropyridylation of unactivated alkenes is described. The transformation connects metal-mediated hydrogen atom transfer to alkenes and Minisci addition reactions. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with high site-selectivities and allows for the construction of tertiary and quaternary centers from simple alkene starting materials.
