An enantioconvergent synthesis of chiral cyclic allylboronates from racemic allylic bromides was achieved by using a guanidine–copper catalyst. The allylboronates were obtained with high γ/α regioselectivities (up to 99:1) and enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee), and could be further transformed into diverse functionalized allylic compounds without erosion of optical purity. Experimental and DFT mechanistic studies support an SN2′ borylation process catalyzed by a monodentate guanidine–copper(I) complex that proceeds through a special direct enantioconvergent transformation mechanism.
Catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to cyclic enones using C1-1,1′-bisisoquinoline-based chiral ligands

experimental part, p. 1585 - 1592 (2012/05/04)
New highly constrained chiral C1-1,1′-bisisoquinoline ligands were examined in the enantioselective conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to cyclohexenone and cyclopentenone. The desired 1,4-adducts were obtained in excellent yield and moderate enantiomeric excess (up to 35%). Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Mechanism of the Grignard Adddition Reaction. XVI. Homolytic and Concerted Mechanisms in the Reaction of α,β-Unsatureted Carbonyl Compounds with Grignard Reagents

Kinetic measurements have shown that the addition of Grignard reagents to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds takes place either by a concerted mechanism or by a homolytic mechanism.Phenylmagnesium bromide, which is incapable of homolysis, reacts rapidly in a 1,4-fashion if an s-cis conformation exists between the C=C and the C=O bonds, but only 1,2-addition takes place if the conformation is s-trans.tert-Butylmagnesium bromide is unsuited to the concerted reaction, but 1,4-addition takes place via homolysis.Primary and secondary Grignard reagents, like phenyl, react rapidly in a concerted manner with s-cis substrates, but unlike phenyl, these Grignard reagents may, with s-trans substrates, produce some 1,4-adduct via the homolytic mechanism.
