The diastereoselective addition of allyl zinc and allylindium derivatives to α-trifluoromethyl N-tert-butanesulfinyl hemiaminals, bench stable precursors of aryl and alkyl trifluoromethyl ketimines, allows the synthesis of homoallylic amines containing a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocentre bearing a trifluoromethyl group with good diastereoselectivities (up to dr > 99 : 1). This approach was also suitable for accessing chiral homoallylic amines bearing two contiguous stereocenters. The synthetic usefulness of N-tert-butanesulfinyl homoallylamines was illustrated by preparing various trifluoromethylated nitrogen containing bifunctional synthons (aminoesters, aminoalcohols) and small azaheterocycles (azetidines, pyrrolidines).

A straightforward and highly diastereoselective synthesis of -4-hydroxypiperidines is presented. This method allows access to C2 and C4 substituted piperidines, bearing a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter at C4. -Disubstituted homoallylic amines and ketoaldehydes as carbonyl partners have been rarely used in aza-Prins cyclizations, expanding the scope of this reaction.

Using amines in catalytic transfer hydrogenation (TH) is challenging, despite their potential availability as a hydrogen source. Here, we describe a photoredox/nickel-catalyzed TH of alkyne through an intermediary aminoalkyl Ni species. This reaction successfully provided functionalized ()-alkenes, such as (homo)allyl ethers, alcohols, and amides (/ = up to >99:1), and the reaction thus bypasses a limitation of substrate scope in TH using amine and a Lindlar catalyst.

In recent decades, the chiral allylation of imines emerged as a key methodology in the synthesis of alkaloids and natural products with 4-, 5- and 6-membered cyclic amine motifs. Initially reliant on stoichiometric reagents, synthetic chemists predominantly used -substituted chiral imines, organometallic chiral reagents and achiral reagents with an equimolar chiral controller. However, recent years have witnessed the rise of asymmetric transition-metal catalysts and, importantly, organocatalytic allylation, reshaping the landscape of modern synthetic chemistry.

This switch from the traditional branched preferred regioselectivity to selective linear product formation using this early transition metal can be attributed to π-allyl intermediates. The reactivity of these isolated intermediates on a sterically accessible and coordinatively flexible chelating bis(ureate) Zr(iv) complex confirmed reversible C-C bond formation in hydroaminoalkylation catalysis.

The 1,5-copper-catalyzed carboamination of vinylcyclopropanes is presented. A carbon-centered radical, formed upon reduction of an alkyl halide by Cu(I), adds across the alkene of a vinylcyclopropane, triggering ring opening to generate a benzylic radical, which, finally, undergoes copper-mediated amination to afford a homoallylic amine. The reaction occurs with outstanding regio- and good to very good diastereoselectivities.
