We here report the photoinduced Cu-catalyzed cyanoalkylation of electron-deficient alkenes by using alkyl bromides as alkylation reagents. In the reactions, 1°, 2°, and 3° unactivated alkyl bromides with various sensitive functional groups were well tolerated with good yields. Notably, terminal and internal alkenes, as well as alkene-containing peptides, were all tolerated well.

Herein we describe a catalyst-free regioselective [3 + 3] annulation/oxidation reaction of cyclic amidines such as DBU (1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene) and DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene) with activated olefins, i.e., 2-arylidenemalononitriles and 2-cyano-3-aryl acrylates, to afford tricyclic 2-pyridones and pyridin-2(1H)-imines, respectively. The mechanism has been proposed based on DFT calculations. In the reaction, the cyclic amidines serve as C,N-bisnucleophiles for the cyclization, while the olefins play a dual role by acting as both reactants and oxidants.
Room Temperature, Reductive Alkylation of Activated Methylene Compounds: Carbon-Carbon Bond Formation Driven by the Rhodium-Catalyzed Water-Gas Shift Reaction

The rhodium-catalyzed water-gas shift reaction has been demonstrated to drive the reductive alkylation of several classes of activated methylene compounds at room temperature. Under catalysis by rhodium trichloride (2-3 mol %), carbon monoxide (10 bar), water (2-50 equiv), and triethylamine (2.5-7 equiv), the scope has been successfully expanded to cover a wide range of alkylating agents, including aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, as well as cyclic ketones, in moderate to high yields. This method is comparable to, and for certain aspects, surpasses the established reductive alkylation protocols.
Polar Substituent Effects in Additions of Alkyl Radicals to Alkenes
Giese, Bernd,Meixner, Juergen
, p. 2138 - 2145 (2007/10/02)
Reduction of cyclohexylmercuric salts (7) with NaBH4 yields cyclohexyl radicals (8).Their rel. rates of addition to substituted styrenes 4, acrylic esters 5 and acrylonitriles 6 have been measured.Comparison with Hammett ?-values shows, that substituents at the non attacked vinylic carbon atom show polar effects mainly (Table 1).The effect of a substituent variation increases with increase of the reactivity of the alkenes (Table 2).Mesomeric and steric effects play only a minor role.
