This manuscript describes a visible-light-mediated organophotoredox catalytic process for vicinal difunctionalization of alkenes using heteroatom nucleophiles and aliphatic redox active esters. A wide range of heteroatom nucleophiles including alcohols, water, carboxylic acids, amides, and halogens can be used for this reaction. This radical relay type reaction allows forging of C(sp3)-C(sp3) with a carbon-centered radical and C(sp3)-heteroatom bonds with a benzyl cation on the vinylarenes with complete regioselectivity in a single step.

A hybrid transition-metal/radical process is described that results in the addition of organozinc reagents and alkyl halides across alkenyl boron reagents in an enantioselective catalytic fashion. The reaction can be accomplished both intermolecularly and intramolecularly, providing useful product yields and high enantioselectivities in both manifolds.

A series of oxometallic species and metal acetylacetonates (acac) was examined as catalysts for oxidative carbonylation of styrene with benzaldehyde using t-butylhydroperoxide as the co-oxidant in warm acetonitrile. Among them, VO((acac)2 and vanadyl(iv) chloride were found to be the only catalyst class to achieve cross-coupling processes by judiciously tuning the ligand electronic attributes, leading to β-hydroxylation- and β-peroxidation-carbonylation of styrene, respectively, in a complementary manner. Mechanistic studies indicated that vanadyl-associated acyl radicals generated by t-butoxy radical-assisted, homolytic cleavage of the aldehyde C-H bond were involved in tandem processes with an exclusive syn diastereoselectivity in the case of β-methylstyrene.

Reductive Lithiation in the Absence of Aromatic Electron Carriers. A Steric Effect Manifested on the Surface of Lithium Metal Leads to a Difference in Relative Reactivity Depending on Whether the Aromatic Electron Carrier Is Present or Absent

One of the most widely used methods of preparation of organolithium compounds is by the reductive lithiation of alkyl phenyl thioethers or, usually less conveniently, alkyl halides with either aromatic radical-anions of lithium or lithium metal in the presence of an aromatic electron-transfer catalyst. Here we present results showing that lithium dispersion can achieve reductive lithiation in the absence of the electron-transfer agent. This procedure is more efficient, and surprisingly, the order of reactivity of substrates is reversed depending on whether the electron-transfer agent is present or absent. For example, in the presence of a preformed radical-anion, tert-butyl phenyl sulfide cleaves significantly faster than methyl phenyl sulfide, whereas in the absence of the radical-anion, it is just the opposite. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the exothermicity of the cleavage of the C-S bond in alkyl phenyl thioethers on the lithium surface is dependent on the size of the alkyl group, the smaller the alkyl group the greater the exothermicity. The increased reactivity is attributed to the smaller steric repulsion between the alkyl group and the lithium surface. The methodology includes, but may not be limited to, the lithium dispersion reductive lithiation of phenyl thioethers, alkyl chlorides, acrolein diethyl acetal, and isochroman.
Chiral secondary alcohol-induced asymmetric autocatalysis: correlation between the absolute configuration of the chiral initiators and the product

In the presence of various chiral secondary alcohols as chiral initiators, an enantioselective alkylation of a pyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde using diisopropylzinc was examined: a pyrimidyl alkanol was obtained in high yield and enantiomeric excess. The correl

Phenyl shifts from secondary to primary carbon proceed with virtually complete inversion at the migration origin, regardless whether they are induced by solvolysis of the aryl sulfonate 25 or by deamination of the amines 12, 17, 26, and 43.Sequential rearrangements (Ph, CH3 and Ph, H) are likewise stereo- and regiospecific.These results strongly support the intervention of phenonium ions.In contrast, the competitive alkyl shifts (deamination only) from benzylic to primary carbon produce but a small excess of inversion (Me 27percent, Et 13percent, iPr 20percent, tBu 3percent).Obviously, benzyl cations are the predominant intermediates.
