The Lewis-acid-promoted addition of prochiral E- and Z-allyl nucleophiles to chiral α-alkoxy N-tosyl imines is described. Alkene geometry is selectively transferred to the newly formed carbon-carbon bond, resulting in stereochemical control of C1, C2, and C3 of the resulting 2-alkoxy-3-N-tosyl-4-alkyl-5-hexene products. A computational analysis to elucidate the high selectivity is also presented. This methodology was employed in the synthesis of two naturally occurring isomers of clausenamide.
Nickel-Catalysed Allylboration of Aldehydes

A nickel catalyst for the allylboration of aldehydes is reported, facilitating the preparation of homoallylic alcohols in high diastereoselectivity. The observed diastereoselectivities and NMR experiments suggest that allylation occurs through a well-defined six-membered transition state, with nickel acting as a Lewis acid.
Selective Isomerization of Terminal Alkenes to (Z)-2-Alkenes Catalyzed by an Air-Stable Molybdenum(0) Complex

Positional and stereochemical selectivity in the isomerization of terminal alkenes to internal alkenes is observed using the cis-Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2 precatalyst. A p-toluenesulfonic acid (TsOH) cocatalyst is essential for catalyst activity. Various functionalized terminal alkenes have been converted to the corresponding 2-alkenes, generally favoring the Z isomer with selectivity as high as 8:1 Z:E at high conversion. Interrogation of the catalyst initiation mechanism by 31P NMR reveals that cis-Mo(CO)4(PPh3)2 reacts with TsOH at elevated temperatures to yield a phosphine-ligated Mo hydride (MoH) species. Catalysis may proceed via 2,1-insertion of a terminal alkene into a MoH group and stereoselective β-hydride elimination to yield the (Z)-2-alkene.
