We report here a mechanistically distinct tactic to carry E2-type eliminations on alkyl halides. This strategy exploits the interplay of α-aminoalkyl radical-mediated halogen-atom transfer (XAT) with desaturative cobalt catalysis. The methodology is high-yielding, tolerates many functionalities, and was used to access industrially relevant materials. In contrast to thermal E2 eliminations where unsymmetrical substrates give regioisomeric mixtures, this approach enables, by fine-tuning of the electronic and steric properties of the cobalt catalyst, to obtain high olefin positional selectivity. This unprecedented mechanistic feature has allowed access tocontra-thermodynamic olefins, elusive by E2 eliminations.

The ionic liquids, BMIM PF6 or BMIM NTf2, are used successfully for the palladium-catalyzed cyclocarbonylation of 2-allylphenols and anilines, 2-vinylphenols, and 2-aminostyrenes. The reaction proceeds cleanly and efficiently to afford high yields of lactones or lactams with good or excellent selectivity for one isomer. The ionic liquid containing the palladium catalyst, and ligand, is recyclable in all cases.
