An organocatalytic enantioselective intermolecular oxidative dehydrogenative α-alkylation of aldehydes via benzylic C–H bond activation has been developed. The asymmetric reaction is smoothly fulfilled by using simple and green molecular oxygen as the oxidant. Two hydrogen dissociations make this transformation more environmentally benign because of high atom efficiency.

The asymmetric organocatalyzed α-alkylation of aldehydes via a cationicradical enamine intermediate was performed under environmentally benign electro-oxidation conditions without the use of chemical oxidants. To promote the desired α-alkylationreaction of aldehydes, various aldehydes with xanthene or cycloheptatriene groups were exposed to electro-organocatalytic conditions to afford optically active

Two cooperative systems: I/2,3,4‐trihydroxybenzoic acid and I/TfOH effect highlyenantioselective intermolecular α‐alkylation of aldehydes. These systems afford functionalized aldehydes in high yields, and with excellent ee and de values with broad substrate scope (see scheme; R1=alkyl, R2,R3=aryl, or R2=ferrocenyl, R3=phenyl, or R2=indolyl, R3=phenyl).

The acid free asymmetric intermolecular α-alkylation of aldehydes with alcohols has been discovered using trifluoroethanol as solvent. This unprecedented system affords the enantioenriched functionalized primary alcohols (after NaBH4 reduction) in high yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities with wide substrate scope in the absence of any acid additive.
