Article Abstract
A reductive dicarbofunctionalization reaction of alkenes has been developed and applied to the preparation of substituted carbo- and heterocycles. The reaction conditions avoid the use of air-sensitive organometallic reagents, and are compatible with a broad range of bromo-electrophiles and a wide variety of substituents to give cyclic products in excellent yields.

An enantioselective 1,2-dicarbofunctionalization of vinyl (hetero)arenes with alkyl bromides and aryl bromides through nickel/photoredox catalysis is described. This three-component enantioselective domino alkyl arylation of vinyl (hetero)arenes could generate a diverse array of enantioenriched 1,1-diaryl(heteroaryl)alkanes with good to excellent yields (up to 88%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ). This transformation could proceed well under mild conditions with excellent chemo- and regioselectivity due to the avoidance of the use of air- and moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents and stoichiometric metal reductants.

A three-component reductive 1,4-dicarbofunctionalization of 1,3-dienes with aziridines and (het)aryl electrophiles was realized. The combination of Ni catalysis with Mn powder as a final reductant enables the direct formation of a Csp-Csp and a Csp-Csp bond at one time. This protocol afforded a convenient approach to the synthesis of β-arylethylamines bearing various functionals and heterocyclic groups.

The Wacker and Wacker-type reactions are some of the most fundamental and powerful transformations in organic chemistry for their ability to efficiently produce valuable chemicals. Remarkable progress has been achieved in asymmetric oxy/aza-Wacker-type reactions; however, asymmetric Wacker-type dicarbofunctionalization remains underdeveloped, especially for the concurrent construction of two stereocenters. Herein, we report a Pd/Cu-cocatalyzed enantio- and diastereodivergent Wacker-type dicarbofunctionalization of alkene-tethered aryl triflates with imino esters.

A binary Ni/Eu catalytic system has been developed, which enables an efficient reductive dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with alkyl halides and malononitriles. The combination of Ni electron-shuttle catalysis with Eu(OTf), a non-redox-type Lewis acid, effectively activates the iminyl radicals, enabling the direct formation of the C(sp)-C(sp) bond and β-ketonitrile functionality across a variety of C═C double bonds. This reaction allows for the expedient synthesis of densely functionalized cyclic β-ketonitriles bearing all-carbon quaternary centers.

ConspectusEfficient construction of ubiquitous carbon-carbon bonds between two electrophiles has garnered interest in recent decades, particularly if it is mediated by nonprecious, first-row transition metals. Reductive coupling has advantages over traditional cross-coupling by obviating the need for stoichiometric air- and moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents. By harnessing transition metal-catalyzed reductive coupling as a powerful tool, intricate molecular architectures can be readily assembled through the installation of two C-C bonds across π systems (alkenes/alkynes) via reaction with two appropriate electrophiles.
