The first transition metal-free highly stereoselective positional isomerization of various α-alkyl styrenes through a carbocation mechanism triggered strategy is developed by using Al(OTf)3 as a hidden Br?nsted acid catalyst, which provides facile access to value-added acyclic tri- and tetra-substituted alkenes in good yields with high stereoselectivity under mild conditions. The practicality of this protocol is further highlighted by the gram-scale synthesis, high stereoselectivity, good functional group tolerance, and simple operation. Mechanistic studies support that Al(OTf)3 acts as a hidden Br?nsted acid catalyst and a carbocation intermediate is formed.

A method for the regioselective reduction of the terminal double bond of 1,1-disubstituted allenes has been developed. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, tetrahydroxydiboron and stoichiometric water, allene semireduction proceeds in high yield to afford Z-alkenes selectively.

The reaction of cyclic and open-chain diastereomerically pure secondary organoboranes with diisopropylzinc allows the preparation of secondary dialkylzinc reagents with good to excellent retention of configuration as shown by deuterolysis and CuI- and Pd0-mediated reactions with electrophiles. The importance of a high boron-zinc exchange rate to obtain high diastereoselectivity has been shown. Improvement of the configurational stability and stereomeric purity of the zinc intermediates has been obtained by using mono-isopinocampheylborane ((-)-IpcBH2) providing optically active dialkylzinc compounds (up to 96% ee) with enhanced diastereoselectivities.
