Abstract:
A novel methodology for the synthesis of 2-pyridones bearing a 2-pyridyl group on nitrogen and carbon atoms, starting from 2-bromopyridines, was developed employing a simple Ru(II)-KOPiv-Na2CO3 catalytic system. Unsubstituted 2-bromopyridine was successfully converted to the penta-heteroarylated 2-pyridone product using this method. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed a possible synthetic pathway leading to the multi-heteroarylated 2-pyridone products, involving consecutive oxygen incorporation, a Buchwald-Hartwig-type reaction, and C-H bond activation.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
