Rhodium-Catalyzed Ketone Methylation Using Methanol Under Mild Conditions: Formation of α-Branched Products†
2014
The
rhodium-catalyzed methylation of
ketoneshas been accomplished using methanol as the methylating agent and the hydrogen-borrowing method. The sequence is notable for the relatively low temperatures that are required and for the ability of the reaction system to form α-branched products with ease. Doubly alkylated
ketonescan be prepared from methyl
ketonesand two different alcohols by using a sequential one-pot
iridium- and
rhodium-catalyzed process.
