Herein, we report a ruthenium-catalyzed redox-neutral α-alkylation of unsaturated alcohols based on a synergistic relay process involving olefin isomerization (chain walking) and umpolung hydrazone addition, which takes advantage of the interaction between the two rather inefficient individual reaction steps to enable an efficient overall process. This transformation shows the compatibility of hydrazone-type “carbanions” and active protons in a one-pot reaction, and at the same time achieves the first Grignard-type nucleophilic addition using olefinic alcohols as latent carbonyl groups, providing a higher yield of the corresponding secondary alcohol than the classical hydrazone addition to aldehydes does. A broad scope of unsaturated alcohols and hydrazones, including some complex structures, can be successfully employed in this reaction, which shows the versatility of this approach and its suitability as an alternative, efficient means for the generation of secondary and tertiary alcohols.

The regioselective benzylic metalation of toluenes using BuLi/KO tBu/TMP(H) (LiNK metalation conditions) and subsequent transmetalation to Si by reaction with TMSCl provides a general one-pot procedure for the synthesis of substituted benzyltrimethylsilanes. ArCH 2Si(Me)3 derivatives are bench stable reagents yet can serve as benzyl anion equivalents under mild reaction conditions. Following activation with fluoride they can successfully participate in a wide range of additions to both non-enolizable and enolizable carbonyls. In addition, their use in the synthesis of isochromanones and trifluoromethylated amines is illustrated. The broad synthetic scope and mild practical conditions of use for ArCH2Si(Me)3 reagents demonstrate their general potential as benzyl anion equivalents.
