Two new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been synthesized and employed in the transition metal-free asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) mediated by Grignard reagents and magnesium alanates. The employment of these ligands showed high yields and improved regio- and enantioselectivity in the formation of tertiary and quaternary stereocenters. Moreover, the low catalyst loading (up to 0.3 mol%) and high scalability (up to 10 mmol) of this improved methodology provide a convenient access to biologically active compounds and synthetically valuable intermediates.

Hip to be square: Styrenes participate in [2+2] cycloadditions upon irradiation with visible light in the presence of an iridium(III) polypyridyl complex. In contrast to previous reports of visible light photoredox catalysis, the mechanism of this process involves photosensitization by energy transfer and not electron transfer. Copyright

(Chemical Equation Presented) Open wide and say AAA: The copper-free asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction of Crignard reagents, catalyzed by N-heter-ocyclic carbenes, is reported for allyl bromide derivatives. This reaction offers good enantioselectivit
Intramolecular anodic olefin coupling reactions: A useful method for carbon-carbon bond formation
Hudson, Christine M.,Marzabadi, Mohammad R.,Moeller, Kevin D.,New, Dallas G.
, p. 7372 - 7385 (2007/10/02)
The utility of intramolecular anodic olefin coupling reactions for effecting carbon-carbon bond formation has been examined. All of the successful cyclizations studied utilized either an alkyl or silyl enol ether as one of the participating olefins. The e
