The addition of π-allylmetal complexes to carbonyls is the most important route to homoallylic alcohols. This study reports the first photocatalytic generation of π-allyltitanium complexes by a radical strategy. This novel strategy enables the three-component allylation of carbonyls with 1,3-butadiene, providing rapid access to valuable homoallylic alcohols (over 60 examples). The exceptional regio- and diastereoselectivity provided by dual photoredox/Ti catalysis is comparable to that of the Cr-catalyzed Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi allylation reaction.

Herein we report a practical pinacol coupling reaction, in which ketones (aldehydes) react smoothly with Sm and TMSBr to afford the diol products with Sm(II) or (III) siliyl species generated in situ. This reported method affords poor yields for aromatic ketone substrates and good yields for aliphatic ketones. Therefore, it distinguishes from most reductive coupling approaches that are more effective for aromatic carbonyl compounds and provides a facile and robust approach for the pinacol coupling of aliphatic ketones. Mechanistic studies also indicated the pinacolization probably proceeded via an anionic instead of radical coupling pathway involving the Brook rearrangement in the presence of samarium (II or III) silyl species.

Intermolecular photoredox ene-carbonyl reductive coupling reactions typically have low product selectivity owing to competing dimerization and/or reduction of ketyl radicals. Herein, we report a metal-organic layer (MOL), Hf-Ir-OTf, as a bifunctional photocatalyst for selective photoredox reductive coupling of ketones or aldehydes with electron-deficient alkenes. Composed of iridium-based photosensitizers (Ir-PSs) and triflated Hf12 clusters, Hf-Ir-OTf uses Lewis acidic Hf sites to bind and activate electron-deficient alkenes to accept ketyl radicals generated by adjacent Ir-PSs, thereby suppressing undesired dimerization and reduction of ketyl radicals to enhance the selectivity for the cross-coupling products. The MOL-catalyzed reductive coupling reaction accommodates a variety of olefinic substrates and tolerates reducible groups, nicely complementing current methods for cross-coupling reactions.
