An enantioselective addition reaction of various alkyl groups to unactivated internal alkenes under Cu catalysis has been developed. The reaction uses amide-linked aminoquinoline as the directing group, 4-alkyl Hantzsch esters as the donor of alkyl radicals, and rarely used biaryl diphosphine oxide as a chiral ligand. β-lactams featuring two contiguous stereocenters at Cβ and the β substituent can be obtained in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate that a nucleophilic addition of the alkyl radical to CuII-coordinated alkene is the enantio-determining step.

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of methoxyarenes with alkyl Grignard reagents, which involves the cleavage of the C(aryl)-OMe bond, has been developed. The use of 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene as a ligand allows the introduction of a variety of alkyl groups, including Me, Me3SiCH2, ArCH2, adamantyl, and cyclopropyl. The method can also be used for the alkylative elaboration of complex molecules bearing a C(aryl)-OMe bond.

In hydroformylation, phosphorus-based directing groups have been consistently successful at placing the aldehyde on the carbon proximal to the directing group. The design and synthesis of a novel catalytic directing group are reported that promotes aldehyde formation on the carbon distal relative to the directing functionality. This scaffolding ligand, which operates through a reversible covalent bond to the substrate, has been applied to the diastereoselective hydroformylation of homoallylic alcohols to afford δ-lactones selectively. Altering the distance between the alcohol and the olefin revealed that homoallylic alcohols gives the distal lactone with the highest levels of regioselectivity.
