methodology for the C(sp3)−C(sp3) functionalisation of saturated N-heterocyclic systems is disclosed. First, aminal derivatives are generated through the anodic oxidation of readily accessible carboxylic acids. Then, in the presence of BF3 ⋅ OEt2, iminium ions are unmasked and rapidly alkylated by organozinc reagents under flow conditions. Secondary, tertiary and quaternary carbon centers have been successfully

of a nitrile as a mediator to achieve the regioselective intermolecular addition of unstabilized zinc ester enolates (Reformatskyreagents) to 1-alkynes and 1,3-enynes. This reaction is made possible by a reversible addition of enolates to a nitrile (Blaise reaction), generating a zinc aza-enolate that, unlike zinc ester enolates, can add intermolecularly to 1-alkynes and 1,3-enynes. Subsequent removal
