Umpolung (polarity reversal) tactics of aldehydes/ketones have greatly broadened carbonyl chemistry by enabling transformations with electrophilic reagents and deoxygenative functionalizations. Herein, we report the first ruthenium-catalyzed β-selective alkylation of vinylpyridines with both naturally abundant aromatic and aliphatic aldehyde/ketonesviaN2H4mediated deoxygenative couplings. Compared with one-electron umpolung of carbonyls to alcohols, this two-electron umpolung strategy realized reductive deoxygenation targets, which were not only applicable to the regioselective alkylation of a broad range of 2/4-alkene substituted pyridines, but also amenable to challenging 3-vinyl and steric-embedded internal pyridines as well as their analogous heterocyclic structures.

Copper-catalyzed conjugate addition is a classic method for forming new carbon-carbon bonds. However, copper has never showed catalytic activity for umpolung carbanions in hydrazone chemistry. Herein, we report a facile conjugate addition of hydrazone catalyzed by readily available copper complexes at room temperature. The employment of mesitylcopper(I) and electron-rich phosphine bidentate ligand is a key factor affecting reactivity. The reaction allows various aromatic hydrazones to react with diverse conjugated compounds to produce 1,4-adducts in yields of about 20 to 99%.

Controlling reaction selectivity is a permanent pursuit for chemists. Regioselective catalysis, which exploits and/or overcomes innate steric and electronic bias to deliver diverse regio-enriched products from the same starting materials, represents a powerful tool for divergent synthesis. Recently, the 1,2-Markovnikov hydroalkylation of 1,3-dienes with simple hydrazones was reported to generate branched allylic compounds when a nickel catalyst was used. As part of the effort, shown here is that a complete switch of Markovnikov to anti-Markovnikov addition is obtained by changing to a ruthenium catalyst, thus providing direct and efficient access to homoallylic products exclusively. Isotopic substitution experiments indicate that no reversible hydro-metallation across the metal-π-allyl system occurred under ruthenium catalysis. Moreover, this protocol is applicable to the regiospecific hydroalkylation of the distal C=C bond of 1,3-enynes.
