Efficient enantioselective Cu-catalyzed alkylations of aromatic and aliphatic allylic phosphates bearing di- and trisubstituted olefins are promoted in the presence of a readily available chiral amino acid-based ligand. Tertiary and quaternary stereogenic carbon centers are delivered regioselectively in high ee.

A promising new approach to a generalized allylation process uses various easily accessible allyl diphenylphosphine oxides as radical trapping agents for the allylation of ditihocarbonates.

The palladium-catalyzed reaction of allyl acetates with aryl- and vinyltin reagents gave good yields of cross-coupled products. The reaction was mild and tolerant of functionality (-CO2R, -OH, -OSiR3, -OMe) in the tin reagent. Inversion of stereochemistry at the acetate center was observed, with retention of the geometry of the olefin of the allyl group and with exclusive coupling at the primary position. Retention of geometry of the olefin in the vinyltin reagents was also observed.

Enantioselective copper-catalyzed allylic alkylations of Grignard reagents were performed on allylic bromides with a protected hydroxyl or amine functional group using Taniaphos as a ligand. The terminal olefin moiety in the products can be transformed into various functional groups without racemization.

A chemo- and regioselective, Cu-catalyzed asymmetric addition of Grignard reagents to 3-bromopropenyl esters provides allylic esters in high yields and enantioselectivities using Taniaphos as ligand. The method is a practical route to chiral, nonracemic allylic alcohols.

Chelated amino acid ester enolates are excellent nucleophiles for allylic alkylations. With these enolates, even terminal π-allyl palladium complexes react without significant isomerization.

The reaction of alkoxides with boron trichloride results in the generation of cations that can be allylated in subsequent transformations. The absence of Brřnsted acids can make a significant difference in such syntheses.
