Copper complexes of phosphoramidites efficiently catalyzed asymmetricaddition of arylboron reagents to acyclic enones. Importantly, rare 1,4-insertion of arylcopper(I) was identified which led directly to O-bound copper enolates. The new mechanism is fundamentally different from classical oxidative addition/reductive elimination of organocopper(I) on enones.

Uncatalyzed conjugate addition of organozinc halides to enones in DME: a combined experimental/computational study on the role of the solvent and the reaction mechanism
calculations, prompted by the experimental aggregation study, revealed an unexpected reactionmechanism, where the coordinating capabilities of DME stabilize a transition state involving two organozinc moieties, lowering the activation energy of the reaction with respect to that seen for THF, enough to explain the fast and quantitative reactions observed experimentally and the different behaviors of
Directα-alkylation of unactivatedketones using benzylic alcohols as electrophiles has been achieved at room temperature. This reaction takes place via in situ formed acetal using triflic acid and trimethyl orthoformate. It is believed that methyl vinyl ether formed from the in situ generated dimethyl acetal in the presence of triflic acid undergoes alkylation. Diverse ketones could be alkylated with

Asymmetric conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to aryl substituted α,β-unsaturatedcarbonylcompounds (1) has been achieved with great regioselectivity (>20:1) and good to excellent diastereoselectivity (de up to 98%). The nucleophilicity and stereospecific blockade of the Grignard reagents play a key role in controlling the regioselectivities and diastereoselectivities of the conjugate addition
Conversion of a wide range of N-Boc amides to aryl ketones was achieved with Grignard reagents via chemoselective C(O)-N bond cleavage. The reactions proceeded under catalyst-free conditions with different aryl, alkyl, and alkynyl Grignard reagents. α-Ketoamide was successfully converted to aryl diketones, while α,β-unsaturated amide underwent 1,4-addition followed by C(O)-N bond cleavage to provide
