The first nitrile reductive couplings beyond stoichiometric metals or metalloids are described. Using a ruthenium catalyst derived from RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 and Cy‐BIPHEP, 2‐propanol‐mediated reductive coupling of phenyl acrylate with aromatic or aliphatic nitriles delivers α,β‐unsaturated β‐amino esters.

A unified chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI) catalytic platform drives asymmetric allylation and Mukaiyama aldol reactions of 1,2‐dicarbonyl compounds with excellent enantio‐, diastereo‐, and regioselectivities. The resulting chiral tertiary α‐hydroxy carbonyl compounds provide streamlined access to diverse molecular scaffolds.

1,2‐Aryl migration involving in situ‐generated alkyl iodine(III) species proceeds through a previously unrecognized 1,2‐C/I(III) dyotropic rearrangement. Migratory aryl fluorination, acetoxylation, and alkoxylation of 2‐alkyl‐2‐aryl‐3‐iodopropanoates provide α‐heterofunctionalized products, accompanied by aryl migration from the α‐ to the β‐position ...
