alpha-Alkylation of 2-phenylacetate ester of 2-alkylamino-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyls with various alkyl iodides proceeded with good stereoselectivities. An intramolecular hydrogen bonding between N-H group and the carbonyl oxygen seemed to play an important role for asymmetric induction. The auxiliary was also applicable to Diels-Alder reaction of an acrylate.

Catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of simple carboxylic acid derivatives is a challenging issue due to the difficulties in achieving high catalytic efficiency and controlling the enantioselectivity. Herein, by using a copper(I)-()-DTBM-SEGPHOS complex as a catalyst and 2-acylimidazoles as pronucleophiles, a general method for the catalytic asymmetric α-alkylation of simple carboxylic acid derivatives is accomplished. Various alkyl electrophiles, including allyl bromides, benzyl bromides, propargyl bromide, and unactivated alkyl sulfonates, serve as efficient alkylation reagents.

The field of asymmetric catalysis has been developed by exploring noncovalent interactions, particularly within N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated processes. Despite challenges due to the limited number of compatible electrophiles (predominantly π-acceptors), this study introduces the first asymmetric α-alkylation of 3-aryl oxindoles using C electrophiles. The innovative protocol integrates diverse oxindoles and alkyl, allyl, and propargyl electrophiles, achieving high yields and enantioselectivities.

Herein, we describe an innovative approach to the asymmetric electrochemical α-alkylation of aldehydes facilitated by a newly designed bifunctional chiral electrocatalyst. The highly efficient bifunctional chiral electrocatalyst combines a chiral aminocatalyst with a redox mediator. It plays a dual role as a redox mediator for electrooxidation, while simultaneously providing remarkable asymmetric induction for the stereoselective α-alkylation of aldehydes.

Visible light-driven pyridoxal radical biocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of valuable noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs). Previously, the use of well-tailored photoredox catalysts represented the key to enable efficient pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) enzyme-catalyzed radical reactions. Here, we report a PLP-dependent threonine aldolase-catalyzed asymmetric α-C-H alkylation of abundant amino acids using Katritzky pyridinium salts as alkylating agents.

The asymmetric total syntheses of four pleurotin natural products, namely, (-)-pleurotin, (+)-leucopleurotin, (+)-leucopleurotinic acid, and (+)-dihydropleurotinic acid, were described in a concise manner. Key transformations feature a Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, a diastereo-controlled sequential hydroboration-oxidation, a SOMO/photoredox activated aldehyde α-alkylation, and oxidative cyclizations.
