Over the past few decades, transition metal-catalyzed conversion of aldehydes has been found to be a powerful method.With the continuous development in recent years, it has become an efficient and uncomplicated strategy for constructing ketones. There are four major mechanisms for transition metal-catalyzed ketone synthesis from aldehyde:(1) carbonyl-Heck reaction, that is 1,2-insertion of organometal species to aldehydic C=O double bond,(2) direct insertion of transition metal catalysts to aldehydic C-H bond,(3) aldehyde as acyl radical,(4) aldehyde as carbon radical acceptor. This article summarizes related reports on the transformations of aldehydes to generate corresponding ketones under different reaction conditions.展开更多

The strategy exhibits various advantages over existingmethods, including base metal catalysis, commercially available catalyst, removal of oxidant, good yields(up to 95%), good functional group tolerance and substrate generality. Moreover, the nature of the reaction was revealed by NMR spectroscopy and isolation of intermediates.展开更多
