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.

Stereoselective isomerization of α-alkyl styrenes is accomplished using a new iron catalyst supported by phosphine-pyridine-oxazoline (PPO) ligand. The protocol provides an atom-efficient and operationally simple approach to trisubstituted alkenes in high

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.

An easily accessible copper(I)/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex enables a regioselective hydride transfer to allylic bromides, an allylic reduction. The resulting aryl- and alkyl-substituted branched α-olefins, which are valuable building blocks for synthesis, are obtained in good yields and regioselectivity. A commercially available silane, (TMSO)2Si(Me)H, is employed as hydride source. This protocol offers a unified alternative to the established metal-catalyzed allylic substitutions with carbon nucleophiles, as no adaption of the catalyst to the nature of the nucleophile is required.
Stereoselective preparation and reactions of configurationally defined dialkylzinc compounds
Boudier, Andreas,Darcel, Christophe,Flachsmann, Felix,Micouin, Laurent,Oestreich, Martin,Knochel, Paul

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.
