Integrated continuous flow/batch protocol for the photoreduction of ortho-methyl phenyl ketones using water as the hydrogen source

The direct hydrogenation of ketones (RRCO) with water to secondary alcohols under catalyst-free, minimal risk conditions, through the light-driven transfer hydrogenation platform.

Chiral isoxazolidine-mediated stereoselective umpolung α-phenylation of methyl ketones

Asymmetric nucleophilic phenylation of N-alkoxyenamine with triphenylaluminium is achieved for the formation of enantioenriched α-phenyl ketones through a one-pot process.
