The direct α-methylation of ketones with methanol under hydrogen borrowing conditions using a well-defined manganese PN3P complex as a pre-catalyst was, for the first time, achieved. The reactions typically proceed at 120 °C for 20 h with 3 mol% pre-catalyst loading and in the presence of NaOtBu (50 mol%) as base. The scope of the reaction was extended to the α-methylation of esters. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3HPLC of Formula: 88-15-3)
1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3) belongs to thiophenes. Reflecting their high stabilities, thiophenes arise from many reactions involving sulfur sources and hydrocarbons, especially unsaturated ones. Thiophenes are classically prepared by the reaction of 1,4-diketones, diesters, or dicarboxylates with sulfidizing reagents such as P4S10 such as in the Paal-Knorr thiophene synthesis. HPLC of Formula: 88-15-3
