Demonstrating their potential: Bidentate alkoxy NHC ligands have been used in the copper‐catalyzed asymmetricallylic alkylation of allylphosphates with Grignard reagents (see scheme). The method provides access to tertiary and quaternary chiral centers with high regio‐ and enantioselectivity. The system is also applied to the synthesis of chiral E,E‐dienes, a key structural motif prevalent in natural

Two new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been synthesized and employed in the transition metal-free asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) mediated by Grignardreagents and magnesium alanates. The employment of these ligands showed high yields and improved regio- and enantioselectivity in the formation of tertiary and quaternary stereocenters. Moreover, the low catalyst loading (up to 0.3 mol%)
A new strategy to access highly enantioenrichedcycliccompounds (up to 98%) is proposed using ω-ethylenic allylic substrates through a one-pot asymmetricallylicalkylation and ring-closingmetathesis. Such starting compounds can be seen as synthetic equivalents of cyclicallylic substrates.
