Methylation of organohalides represents a valuable transformation, but typically requires harsh reaction conditions or reagents. We report a radical approach for the methylation of (hetero)aryl chlorides using nickel/photoredox catalysis wherein trimethyl orthoformate, a common laboratory solvent, serves as a methyl source. This method permits methylation of (hetero)aryl chlorides and acyl chlorides at an early and late stage with broad functional group compatibility. Mechanistic investigations indicate that trimethyl orthoformate serves as a source of methyl radical via β-scission from a tertiary radical generated upon chlorine-mediated hydrogen atom transfer.

2,3-Dichloropyridine N-oxide, a novel oxygen transfer reagent, allows the conductance of the gold(I)-catalyzed oxidation of alkynes to 1,2-dicarbonyls in the absence of any acid additives and under mild conditions to furnish the target species, including those derivatized by highly acid-sensitive groups. The developed strategy is effective for a wide range of alkyne substrates such as terminal- and internal alkynes, ynamides, alkynyl ethers/thioethers, and even unsubstituted acetylene (40 examples; yields up to 99%). The oxidation was successfully integrated into the trapping of reactive dicarbonyls by one-pot heterocyclization and into the synthesis of six-membered azaheterocycles. This synthetic acid-free route was also successfully applied for the total synthesis of a natural 1,2-diketone.

An efficient and mild protocol has been developed for the Minisci acylation reactions of nitrogen-containing heteroarenes with α-keto acids. Distinct from the conventional Minisci acylation conditions, the chemistry was performed using non-noble metal Fe(II), instead of expensive Ag(I) salt, as catalyst. A wide range of substrates, including aliphatic or aromatic α-keto acids, as well as various N-heteroarenes, proved to be compatible with the protocol. Scale-up experiment also demonstrates the practicality of the approach.
