The Pd-catalysed asymmetric allylic alkylation (Pd-AAA) of prochiral enamide anions derived from 5-oxathiazole 2,2-dioxides has been developed. Various 4,5-disubstituted and 4-substituted cyclic sulfamidate imines have participated in the transformation with a range of allyl carbonates-as well as 2-vinyl oxirane, 2-vinyl--tosylaziridine, and 2-vinyl-1,1-cyclopropane dicarboxylate-to furnish the desired -allylated products in moderate to high yields, with high regioselectivites and generally high enantioselectivities. Conversion between - and -allyl products was observed, with the -allylated products converting to the -allylated products over time. The resulting high-value allylated heterocyclic products all bear a tetrasubstituted stereogenic centre and can be reduced to an allylated chiral sulfamidate or an amino alcohol.

The citrus scent arises from the volatile monoterpene limonene, whose cyclic nature can be viewed as a miniaturized form of the poly-cyclic sterol triterpenoids. In particular, as these rings are all formed from poly-isoprenyl precursors via carbocation cascades. However, the relevant reactions are initiated by distinct mechanisms, either lysis/ionization of an allylic diphosphate ester bond, as in limonene synthases, or protonation of a terminal olefin or epoxide, as in lanosterol synthases.

Recent research has increasingly focused on phytochemicals as promising anticancer agents, with glucosinolates (GSLs) and their hydrolytic derivatives playing a central role. These sulfur-containing compounds, found in plants of the Brassicales order, are converted by myrosinase enzymes into biologically active products, primarily isothiocyanates (ITCs) and indoles, which exhibit significant anticancer properties. Indole-3-carbinol, diindolylmethane, sulforaphane (SFN), phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), benzyl isothiocyanate, and allyl isothiocyanate have shown potent anticancer effects in animal models, particularly in breast, prostate, lung, melanoma, bladder, hepatoma, and gastrointestinal cancers.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

The electrochemically induced reaction between alkenes, bearing an allylic hydrogen atom, and -hydroxyphthalimide was investigated. Cross-dehydrogenative C-O coupling with phthalimide--oxyl radical, derived from -hydroxyphthalimide, occurs instead of oxidation of the allylic site, with the formation of a carbonyl group or functionalization of the double C=C bond. The discovered transformation proceeds in an undivided electrochemical cell equipped with a carbon felt anode and a platinum cathode.
