A Ni-catalyzed asymmetric reductive cross-coupling between vinyl bromides and benzyl chlorides has been developed. This method provides direct access to enantioenriched products bearing aryl-substituted tertiary allylic stereogenic centers from simple, stable starting materials. A broad substrate scope is achieved under mild reaction conditions that preclude the pregeneration of organometallic reagents and the regioselectivity issues commonly associated with asymmetric allylic arylation.

The first enantioselective Ni-catalyzed reductive acyl cross-coupling has been developed. Treatment of acid chlorides and racemic secondary benzyl chlorides with a NiII/bis(oxazoline) catalyst in the presence of Mn0 as a stoichiometric reductant generates acyclic α,α-disubstituted ketones in good yields and high enantioselectivity without requiring stoichiometric chiral auxiliaries or pregeneration of organometallic reagents. The mild, base-free reaction conditions are tolerant of a variety of functional groups on both coupling partners.

N-Methyl ortho-carbamoylaryl benzyl sulfoxides can be used as synthetic equivalents for α-hydroxy, α-chloro, and α-acetammido benzyl carbanions by means of a two-step sequence involving highly diastereoselective α-C-alkylation with alkyl halides followed by displacement of the sulfinyl residue (which can be recovered and recycled) by a hydroxyl, a chlorine or an acetamido, respectively, under non-oxidative Pummerer conditions. The scope and limits of the method, including a stereoselective version of the reaction, as well as the mechanism of the process are discussed in detail.

ortho-[(N-Methyl)carbamoyl]phenyl benzyl sulfoxide is used as a synthetic equivalent of α-hydroxy and α-chloro benzyl carbanions by means of a two-step sequence involving (1) highly stereoselective α-C-alkylation with alkyl bromides, and (2) displacement of the sulfinyl group by an OH or a Cl under Pummerer or chloro-Pummerer conditions, respectively. The sulfinyl auxiliary can be effectively regenerated and recycled.

A variety of methods have been utilized to detect the occurrence of a single electron transfer pathway in the reduction of alkyl halides by LiAlH4 and AlH3, i.e., (1) product studies of reduction of cyclizable alkyl halides containing the 5-hexenyl group, (2) trapping of intermediate radicals by dicyclohexylphosphine and other trapping agents, (3) direct EPR observation of the trityl radical in the reduction of trityl bromide, and (4) stereochemical studies of the reduction of secondary halides by lithium aluminum deuteride.The extent of electron transfer was found to be a function of the solvent, the substrate, the leaving group, and the hydride reagent.For alkyl iodides, and to a lesser extent bromides, electron transfer was found to be the major reaction pathway; however, no evidence for electron transfer was found for the corresponding chlorides or tosylates.Reduction of (+)-2-octyl iodide by LiAlD4 was found to be much less stereospecific than the corresponding reduction of bromide, chloride, or tosylate, indicating intermediate radical formation in the reduction of the secondary iodide.
