Reported here is a terminal‐selective, remote asymmetric hydroalkylation of olefins with racemic α‐bromo amides. The reaction proceeds by NiH‐catalyzed alkene isomerization and subsequent alkylation reaction, and can enantioconvergently introduce an unsymmetrical secondary alkyl group from a racemic α‐bromo amide onto a terminalC(sp3)−H position along the hydrocarbon chain of the alkene. This mild process
An iridium-catalyzed remote site-switchable hydroarylation of alkenes controlled by two different ligands was reported. The protocol enables access to the products functionalized at the subterminal methylene and terminal methyl positions on an alkyl chain in good results. The results of the control experiments and DFT calculations demonstrate that the reaction involves a chain-walking process and the
