The functionalization of carbonyl compounds in the α-position has gathered much attention as a synthetic route because of the wide biological importance of such products. Through polarity reversal, or "umpolung", we show here that typical nucleophiles, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and even carbon nucleophiles, can be used for addition reactions after tethering them to enol ethers. Our findings allow novel retrosynthetic planning and rapid assembly of structures previously accessible only by multistep sequences. A Nu approach: An efficient α-functionalization of ketones with a range of simple and useful nucleophiles is possible by using hypervalent iodine reagents (see scheme; Nu′ can be the Nu itself or a protected form of this nucleophile group).

(Chemical Equation Presented) Resolutely dynamic hydrogenation: A highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic N,N-disubstituted α-aminocycloalkanones involving dynamic kinetic resolution in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst gives chiral α-aminocycloalkanols with excellent enantioselectivities and cis diastereoselectivities (see scheme). A synthesis of optically pure U-(-)-50488 based on this reaction is reported.
