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.

cross-coupling of two C(sp3)–H bonds employing visiblelight as an economical and environmentally benign source of energy. Photoredox catalysis is used for the oxidation of a diarylmethane to the corresponding cation, which is then trapped by an enamine intermediate generated in situ from an aldehyde reactant and a secondary amine organocatalyst. Notably, this mild method is an ideal synthetic approach from the

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.

without additional oxidants for the cross-dehydrogenativecouplingreaction (CDC) of two C(sp)-H bonds is reported. A series of aldehydes including natural products and various substrates containing C(sp)-H bonds including xanthenes, acridines, cycloheptatrienes and even diarylmethane have been shown to undergo asymmetric CDC to afford a series of carbon-carbon bondcoupling products with up to 94% yield
