Herein, we report a rapid, one-step synthesis of α-ketoacetals via electrophilic etherification of α-alkoxy enolates and monoperoxyacetals. Methyl, primary, and secondary α-ketoacetals were obtained in 44-63% yields from tetrahydropyranyl substrates; usin
Iron-Catalyzed Methylation Using the Borrowing Hydrogen Approach
Polidano, Kurt,Allen, Benjamin D. W.,Williams, Jonathan M. J.,Morrill, Louis C.

A general iron-catalyzed methylation has been developed using methanol as a C1 building block. This borrowing hydrogen approach employs a Kn?lker-type (cyclopentadienone)iron carbonyl complex as catalyst (2 mol %) and exhibits a broad reaction scope. A variety of ketones, indoles, oxindoles, amines, and sulfonamides undergo mono- or dimethylation in excellent isolated yields (>60 examples, 79% average yield).
Additions of Organomagnesium Halides to α-Alkoxy Ketones: Revision of the Chelation-Control Model

The chelation-control model explains the high diastereoselectivity obtained in additions of organometallic nucleophiles to α-alkoxy ketones but fails for reactions of allylmagnesium halides. Low diastereoselectivity in ethereal solvents results from no chelation-induced rate acceleration. Additions of allylmagnesium bromide to carbonyl compounds are diastereoselective using CH2Cl2 as the solvent even though rate acceleration is still absent. Stereoselectivity likely arises from the predominance of the chelated form in solution. Therefore, a revised chelation-control model is proposed.
