An efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of tertiary alcohols via nucleophilic addition of organometallic compounds of s-block elements (Grignard and organolithium reagents) to esters performed in the biodegradable choline chloride/urea eutectic mixture or in water. This approach displays a broad substrate scope, with the addition reaction proceeding quickly (20 s reaction time) and cleanly, at ambient temperature and under air, straightforwardly furnishing the expected tertiary alcohols in yields of up to 98%. The practicability of the method is exemplified by the sustainable synthesis of some representative S-trityl-L-cysteine derivatives, which are a potent class of Eg5 inhibitors, also via telescoped one-pot processes.

Highly efficient alkylations and arylations of ketones with Grignard reagents (RMgBr and RMgI) have been developed using catalytic ZnCl2, Me3SiCH2MgCl, and LiCl. Tertiary alcohols were obtained in high yields with high chemoselectivities, while minimizing undesired side products produced by reduction and enolization.
Highly efficient alkylation to ketones and aldimines with Grignard reagents catalyzed by zinc(II) chloride

A highly efficient alkylation to ketones and aldimines with Grignard reagents in the presence of catalytic trialkylzinc(II) ate complexes derived from ZnCl2 (10 mol %) in situ was developed. This simple Zn(II)-catalyzed alkylation could minimize the well-known but serious problems with the use of only Grignard reagents, which leads to reduction and aldol side products, and the yield of desired alkylation products could be improved.
