Detailed herein is the photochemical organocatalytic enantioselective α-alkylation of aldehydes with (phenylsulfonyl)alkyl iodides. The chemistry relies on the direct photoexcitation of enamines to trigger the formation of reactive carbon-centered radicals from iodosulfones, while the ground-state chiral enamines provide effective stereochemical control over the radical trapping process. The phenylsulfonyl moiety, acting as a redox auxiliary group, facilitates the generation of radicals. In addition, it can eventually be removed under mild reducing conditions to reveal methyl and benzyl groups.
Synthesis of homopropargyl alcohols via insertion of allenyl carbenoids into acyclic organozirconium bonds

Insertion of allenyl carbenoids (3-tosyloxy-1-lithioalk-1-ynes) into organozirconium complexes gave allenyl-zirconocenes via a 1,2-zirconate rearrangement. Trapping of the allenyl-zirconium species with aldehydes and ketones gave, after hydrolysis, a seri
