A copper-catalyzed oxyalkylation of allylic alcohols using nonactivated alkyl nitriles as reaction partners was developed. A sequence involving generation of an alkyl nitrile radical followed by its addition to a double bond and a copper-mediated formation of C(sp3)–O bond was proposed to account for the reaction outcome. The protocol provided an efficient route to functionalized tri- and tetrasubstituted
A non-enzymatic acetyl transfer-based kinetic resolution of primary allylic amines is reported. The process involves the use of (1S,2S)-1 in conjunction with a supported ammonium salt and affords the corresponding enantio-enriched N-acetylated allylic amines with unprecedented levels of selectivity (s-factors up to 34).
enones from olefins is described. The reaction was performed under visible-light irradiation in the presence of molecular oxygen and a photocatalyst. The reaction proceeded with various types of trisubstituted olefins to give enones in good yields with high regioselectivity. In particular, oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups, heteroaromatic rings, and cyclopropanes were tolerated. Mechanistic
