Organophotoredox/Ni-Cocatalyzed Allylation of Allenes: Regio-, and Diastereoselective Access to Homoallylic Alcohols [PDF]
A dual organophotoredox/nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of allenes with aldehydes has been developed for the rapid assembly of anti-homoallylic alcohols with high levels of regioselectivities (>20:1), and diastereoselectivities (up to >20:1) and ...

Latent Pronucleophiles in Lewis Base Catalysis: Enantioselective Allylation of Silylated Stabilized Carbon Nucleophiles with Allylic Fluorides [PDF]
Lewis base catalyzed allylations of C-centered nucleophiles have been largely limited to the niche substrates with acidic C-H substituted with C-F bonds at the stabilized carbanionic carbon.

Sustainability and efficiency assessment of lignin-derived phenolic synthons’ allylation: in solution versus ball-milling [PDF]
Allylation of phenols, a widely used reaction in multistep synthetic pathways, was herein investigated using mechanochemistry. This synthesis was first optimized on vanillin by varying key parameters including both chemical (e.g., stoichiometry, reaction

Enantioselective Allylation from Allene, a Petroleum Cracking Byproduct [PDF]
Allene (C3H4) gas is produced and separated on million-metric-ton scale per year during petroleum refining but is only rarely employed in chemical manufacturing. Meanwhile, the addition of an allyl group (C3H5) to ketone-containing molecules is among the

Rapid Decarboxylative Allylation of Nitroalkanes
Allyl nitroacetates undergo decarboxylative allylation to provide tertiary nitroalkanes in high yield. Moreover, the transformations are complete within several minutes under ambient conditions. High yields result because O-allylation of the intermediate

Highly Diastereo- and Enantioselective Allylboration of Aldehydes using alpha-Substituted Allyl/Crotyl Pinacol Boronic Esters via in Situ Generated Borinic Esters [PDF]
Readily available, alpha-substituted allyl/crotyl pinacol boronic esters often give low E/Z selectivity (with Z favored) in reactions with aldehydes. We found that addition of nBuLi to the pinacol boronic ester followed by trapping of the alkoxide with ...
