A nickel-catalyzed, multicomponent regio- and enantioselective coupling via sequential hydroformylation and carbonylation from readily available starting materials has been developed. This modular multicomponent hydrofunctionalization strategy enables the straightforward reductive hydrocarbonylation of a broad range of unactivated alkenes to produce a wide variety of unsymmetrical dialkyl ketones bearing a functionalized α-stereocenter, including enantioenriched chiral α-aryl ketones and α-amino ketones. It uses chiral bisoxazoline as a ligand, silane as a reductant, chloroformate as a safe CO source, and a racemic secondary benzyl chloride or an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) ester of a protected α-amino acid as the alkylation reagent. The benign nature of this process renders this method suitable for late-stage functionalization of complex molecules.

A combined acid HCl/DMPU-acetic acid catalytic system was used in the hydrochlorination of a wide range of unactivated alkenes. This hydrochlorination strategy is remarkably greener than previous reported methods in terms of high atom efficiency, no toxic waste generated and metal-free process. The higher efficiency, compared with other commercially available HCl reagents, was augmented by the good regioselectivity and functionality tolerance found. A stepwise mechanism for this hydrochlorination process was proposed based on kinetic studies.
Ketone-catalyzed photochemical C(sp3)–H chlorination

Photoexcited arylketones catalyze the direct chlorination of C(sp3)–H groups by N- chlorosuccinimide. Acetophenone is the most effective catalyst for functionalization of unactivated C–H groups while benzophenone provides better yields for benzylic C–H functionalization. Activation of both acetophenone and benzophenone can be achieved by irradiation with a household compact fluorescent lamp. This light-dependent reaction provides a better control of the reaction as compared to the traditional chlorination methods that proceed through a free radical chain propagation mechanism.
