Herein, we report a ruthenium-catalyzed redox-neutral α-alkylation of unsaturated alcohols based on a synergistic relay process involving olefin isomerization (chain walking) and umpolung hydrazone addition, which takes advantage of the interaction between the two rather inefficient individual reaction steps to enable an efficient overall process. This transformation shows the compatibility of hydrazone-type “carbanions” and active protons in a one-pot reaction, and at the same time achieves the first Grignard-type nucleophilic addition using olefinic alcohols as latent carbonyl groups, providing a higher yield of the corresponding secondary alcohol than the classical hydrazone addition to aldehydes does. A broad scope of unsaturated alcohols and hydrazones, including some complex structures, can be successfully employed in this reaction, which shows the versatility of this approach and its suitability as an alternative, efficient means for the generation of secondary and tertiary alcohols.

The chelation-control model explains the high diastereoselectivity obtained in additions of organometallic nucleophiles to α-alkoxy ketones but fails for reactions of allylmagnesium halides. Low diastereoselectivity in ethereal solvents results from no chelation-induced rate acceleration. Additions of allylmagnesium bromide to carbonyl compounds are diastereoselective using CH2Cl2 as the solvent even though rate acceleration is still absent. Stereoselectivity likely arises from the predominance of the chelated form in solution. Therefore, a revised chelation-control model is proposed.
Organoselenium-catalyzed, hydroxy-controlled regio- and stereoselective amination of terminal alkenes: Efficient synthesis of 3-amino allylic alcohols

An efficient route to prepare 3-amino allylic alcohols in excellent regio- and stereoselectivity in the presence of bases by orangoselenium catalysis has been developed. In the absence of bases α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were formed in up to 97% yield. Control experiments reveal that the hydroxy group is crucial for the direct amination.
