The reaction between aryl- or vinylboroxines with α-diazocarbonyl compounds offers an alternative approach for α-arylation and α-vinylation of carbonyl compounds. α-Arylated or α-vinylated carbonyl compounds are formed under mild conditions.

A synergistic combination of copper and chiral amine catalysis enables an enantioselective α-vinylation of aldehydes using vinyl iodonium triflate salts. These mild catalysis provides enolizable α-formyl vinylic stereocenters without racemization or olefin transposition. These high-value coupling adducts are readily converted into various useful olefin synthons.

A synergistic combination of copper and chiral amine catalysis enables an enantioselective α-alkenylation of aldehydes using boronic acids. The merger of two highly utilized and robust catalytic systems has allowed for the development of a mild and operationally trivial protocol for the direct formation of α-formyl olefins employing common building blocks for organic synthesis.

The use of gem-bis(boronates) as precursors enables a construction of quaternary α-aryl aldehydes, in which both groups are installed simultaneously. This methodology provides a general strategy to produce quaternary α-aryl aldehydes with broad scopes and synthetic convenience. In addition, gem-bis(boronates) are readily available from ketones.

Intermolecular coupling of aromatic and aliphatic ketone lithium enolates with a variety of alkenyl halides is achieved in good yields in the presence of Ni(cod)2 catalyst, an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, and LiI.

In a protocol for a mild, catalytic, intermolecular alkenylation of ketone enolates, Pd/Q-Phos as catalyst enables an efficient intermolecular coupling of various ketones with alkenyl bromides with a slight excess of LiHMDS at 0°C.

A radical alkenylation reaction of α-halo carbonyl compounds with styrylindium dichloride as well as unactivated alkenylindiums proceeded in the presence of triethylborane. The geometry of the carbon-carbon double bonds was retained. Efficient one-pot strategies were developed.

Multifunctional palladium catalysis allows a one-pot stereocontrolled synthesis of tetrasubstituted methyl ketones and enynes. The homogeneous palladium dihalide catalyst is used for the bromo-/chloroallylation of alkynes and in situ for subsequent Wacker-Tsuji oxidation or Sonogashira cross-coupling.
