We have developed a modular procedure to synthesize allylic alcohols from tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl halides and alkynes via a Cu-catalyzed hydrocarbonylative coupling and 1,2-reduction tandem sequence. The use of tertiary alkyl halides as electrophiles was found to enable the synthesis of various allylic alcohols bearing α-quaternary carbon centers in good yield with high 1,2-reduction selectivity. Mechanistic studies that suggested a different pathway was operative with tertiary alkyl halides compared with primary and secondary alkyl halides for generating the key copper(III) oxidative adduct. For tertiary electrophiles, an acyl halide likely forms via radical atom transfer carbonylation. The preference for 1,2-reduction over 1,4-reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones bearing tertiary substituents was rationalized using density functional theory transition state analysis. On the basis of this computational model, the coupling method was extended to primary and secondary alkyl iodide electrophiles by using internal alkynes with aryl substituents, providing trisubstituted allylic alcohols in high yield with good regioselectivity.

The use of Me2AlOTf as an additive allowed the oxidative cyclization of pivalaldehyde and diphenylacetylene with nickel(0) in the presence of PCy3 to give an oxanickelacyclopentene, the structure of which was unambiguously determined
