Spinnato, Davide published the artcileA Photochemical Organocatalytic Strategy for the α-Alkylation of Ketones by using Radicals, Formula: C8H6ClF3, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2020), 59(24), 9485-9490, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Reported herein is a visible-light-mediated radical approach to the α-alkylation of ketones. This method exploits the ability of a nucleophilic organocatalyst to generate radicals upon SN2-based activation of alkyl halides and blue light irradiation The resulting open-shell intermediates are then intercepted by weakly nucleophilic silyl enol ethers, which would be unable to directly attack the alkyl halides through a traditional two-electron path. The mild reaction conditions allowed functionalization of the α position of ketones with functional groups that are not compatible with classical anionic strategies. In addition, the redox-neutral nature of this process makes it compatible with a cinchona-based primary amine catalyst, which was used to develop a rare example of enantioselective organocatalytic radical α-alkylation of ketones. Thus, e.g., treatment of acetophenone O-TBS silyl enol ether with chloroacetonitrile afforded I (91%) in presence of dithiocarbonyl catalyst II using blue LED irradiation and TFA or TBAF workup.
