The insertion of lithiated epoxides into boronic esters followed by thermal syn-elimination provides a stereospecific entry to alkenes. This process avoids transition metals and is amenable to iteration to provide higher substitution patterns.

We have developed a method for stereospecific synthesis of E-alkenes from terminal alkynes and alkyl iodides. The hydroalkylation reaction is enabled by a cooperative action of copper and nickel catalysts and proceeds with excellent anti-Markovnikov selectivity. We demonstrate the broad scope of the reaction, which can be accomplished in the presence of esters, nitriles, aryl bromides, ethers, alkyl chlorides, anilines, and a wide range of nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic compounds. Mechanistic studies provide evidence that the copper catalyst activates the alkyne by hydrocupration, which controls both the regio- and diastereoselectivity of the overall reaction. The nickel catalyst activates the alkyl iodide and promotes cross coupling with the alkenyl copper intermediate.
Stereoselectivity of the Thermally Initiated Free-Radical Chain Addition of Cyclohexane to 1-Alkynes

Alkanes can be added to alkynes in a thermally initiated free-radical chain reaction ("ane reaction").The addition of cyclohexane to 1-alkynes 1a-l yields a mixture of (Z)- and (E)-2-cyclohexyl-1-alkenes 3a-l.An essential step in this reaction is the addi
