We have developed a method for stereospecific synthesis of E-alkenes from terminal alkynes and alkyl iodides. The hydroalkylation reaction is enabled by a cooperative action of copper and nickel catalysts and proceeds with excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity. We demonstrate the broad scope of the reaction, which can be accomplished in the presence of esters, nitriles, aryl bromides, ethers, alkyl chlorides, anilines, and a wide range of nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic compounds. Mechanistic studies provide evidence that the copper catalyst activates the alkyne by hydrocupration, which controls both the regio- and diastereoselectivity of the overall reaction. The nickel catalyst activates the alkyl iodide and promotes cross coupling with the alkenyl copper intermediate.

Olefin isomerization is a significant transformation in organic synthesis, which provides a convenient synthetic route for internal olefins and remote functionalization processes. The selectivity of an olefin isomerization process is often thermodynamically controlled. Thus, to achieve selectivity under kinetic control is very challenging. Herein, we report a novel cobalt-catalyzed regioselective olefin isomerization reaction. By taking the advantage of fine-tunable NNP-pincer ligand structures, this catalytic system features high kinetic control of regioselectivity. This mild catalytic system enables the isomerization of 1,1-disubstituted olefins bearing a wide range of functional groups in excellent yields and regioselectivity. The synthetic utility of this transformation was highlighted by the highly selective preparation of a key intermediate for the total synthesis of minfiensine. Moreover, a new strategy was developed to realize the selective monoisomerization of 1-alkenes to 2-alkenes dictated by installing substituents on the γ-position of the double bonds. Mechanistic studies supported that the in situ generated Co-H species underwent migratory insertion of double bond/β-H elimination sequence to afford the isomerization product. The less hindered olefin products were always preferred in this cobalt-catalyzed olefin isomerization due to an effective ligand control of the regioselectivity for the β-H elimination step.

A simple protocol for iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of nonactivated secondary alkyl bromides and iodides with alkynyl Grignard reagents at room temperature has been developed. A wide range of secondary alkyl halides and terminal alkynes are tolerated to a
