Rhodium-catalyzed Intermolecular Ketone Hydroacylation: Towards an Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Protocol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The addition of an aldehyde C−H bond across a ketone functionality, formally a hydroacylation, has emerged as an atom-economical approach to the synthesis of esters. While this is an efficient strategy for producing biologically-relevant materials, the field of transition metal-catalyzed ketone hydroacylation is currently limited to intramolecular systems. The development of a new rhodium catalyst will be presented, and its application to intermolecular ketone hydroacylation will be discussed. Ester products were synthesized from unfunctionalized, aliphatic aldehydes and chelating ketones in excellent yields under relatively mild reaction conditions. Efforts towards an asymmetric intermolecular ketone hydroacylation will be described, including the application of known chiral catalysts and the development of novel chiral phosphine ligands for asymmetric catalysis. Ester products were obtained in as high as 78% enantiomeric excess.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
