Radical hydrofunctionalization occurs with ease using metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) catalysis to couple alkenes and competent radicalophilic electrophiles. Traditional two-electron electrophiles have remained unreactive. Herein we report the reductive coupling of electronically unbiased olefins with imines and aldehydes. Iron catalysis allows addition of alkyl-substituted olefins into imines through the intermediacy of free radicals, whereas a combination of catalytic Co(Salt-Bu,t-Bu) and chromium salts enables a branch-selective coupling of olefins and aldehydes through the formation of a putative alkyl chromium intermediate.

The addition of organozinc reagents to chiral α-imino esters pre-complexed with zinc bromide, occurred with complete regioselectivity at the imino carbon. The influence of the solvent, temperature and different chiral auxiliaries was studied. The best diastereoselectivities were obtained in Et2O or CH2Cl2 at 0°C, using phenylglycinol methyl ether as the chiral inductor.
