Graphene-catalyzed transacetalization under acid-free conditions

1,2- and 1,3-Diols are readily protected as cyclic acetals and ketals through a graphene-catalyzed transacetalization process. The methodology features an atom economic procedure since quasi-stoichiometric conditions have been developed. Unlike prior systems, the graphene-catalyzed transacetalization is performed under Br?nsted and Lewis acid-free conditions and without solvent. Our method has been applied to several volatile compounds that are unsuitable for complex work-up and extensive purification steps. The very unusual catalytic properties of graphene for transacetalization reactions are ascribed to molecular charge transfer between graphene and substrates.

A new and general synthesis of chiral β-ketosulfoxides by reaction of (+)-(R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide with nitriles

The nitrile functional group is efficiently transformed into the β-ketosulfoxide moiety by reaction with the anion formed from (+)-(R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and aqueous acidic work-up of the reaction.
