AbstractA highly stereoselective organocatalytic α‐alkylation of 2‐arylacetaldehydes with a commercially available carbenium tetrafluoroborate is described. The stereoselective alkylation was carried out in acetonitrile/water, under air in the presence of a commercially available imidazolidinone (MacMillan’s catalyst). Key intermediates for the synthesis of bisabolanes were obtained through a simple chemistry. In particular a direct, enantioselective and facile synthesis of (R)‐(−)‐curcumene is described.magnified image

rhodium-catalyzed remote C(sp3 )-H borylation of silylenolethers (SEEs, E/Z mixtures) by alkene isomerization and hydroboration is reported. The reaction exhibits mild reaction conditions and excellent functional-group tolerance. This method is compatible with an array of SEEs, including linear and branched SEEs derivedfrom aldehydes and ketones, and provides direct access to a broad range of structurally
