The sequential installation of a carbenoid and a hydride into a carbonyl, furnishing halomethyl alkyl derivatives, is reported. Despite the employment of carbenoids as nucleophiles in reactions with carbon-centered electrophiles, sp3-type alkyl halides remain elusive materials for selective one-carbon homologations. Our tactic levers on using carbonyls as starting materials and enables uniformly high yields and chemocontrol. The tactic is flexible and is not limited to carbenoids. Also, diverse carbanion-like species can act as nucleophiles, thus making it of general applicability.

The intramolecular addition reaction of metal enolates of ketones to oxiranes has been applied to a series of epoxy ketones derived from cyclohexene oxide. γ-Hydroxy ketones (γ-HKs, C-alkylation products) or hydroxy enol ethers (HEEs, O-alkylation products) are obtained, depending on the nature of the cyclic transition state in each case involved and the application of the Fu?rst-Plattner rule. The formation of HEEs by reaction of the same epoxy ketones under acid conditions is also described. In some cases, regioconvergent or chemoselective processes are conveniently obtained.

The rectivity of the new zinc and copper carbenoids PivOCH2Cu(CN)ZnI (4) and ICH2Cu*ZnI2 (5) toward various electrophiles has been investigated.Of special interest is the direct and highly stereoselective conversion of allylic bromides to the corresponding homoallylic iodides by using the reagent ICH2Cu*ZnI2
Synthetic Applications of Metal Halides.Conversion of Cyclopropylmethanols into Homoallylic Halides.

Magnesium and beryllium halides in refluxing diethyl ether effect the transformation of cyclopropylmethanols into homoallylic halides,in contrast to several other metal halides and Lewis acid/nucleophile combinations which were examined.Magnesium bromide and iodide are particularly effective: conditions are mild,yields are high,and little or no byproducts are formed.Tertiary and benzylic alcohols are more reactive than secondary alcohols,while the latter are converted into E homoallylic halides with high stereoselectivity.Cyclopropylmethanol itself fails to react.In the cases of magnesium halide reactions with bicyclo-2-hexanol and bicyclo-2-heptanol,addition of an equimolar amount of zinc halide not only caused substantial rate enhancement but also increased regioselectivity.
