A new type of intermolecular alkylative olefination of unactivated olefins and alkyl halides has been realized for the first time. This copper-promoted Heck-type reaction employs a directing-group strategy to efficiently produce the coupled alkyl olefin products with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. A broad substrate scope including 1°, 2°, and 3° alkyl bromides and various nonactivated alkenes could be well tolerated. DFT calculations disclosed a dimethyl sulfoxide assisted concerted H-Br elimination process of a conformationally strained Cu(III) cyclic transition state.

Reductive cyanation of tertiary alkyl bromides using electrophilic cyanating reagent and zinc reductant was developed, providing various α-cyano ketones, esters, and carboxamides containing a nitrile-bearing all-carbon quaternary center in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The corresponding reaction mechanism involving in situ generated organozinc reagent and reactivity distinction was elucidated by density functional theory computation.
