An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and photo-co-catalyzed alkylacylation of
olefins in the presence of a diazo ester provides 1,5-ketoesters with great atom
economy and N2 as the only byproduct. Particularly, this radical
process employs a traditional carbene precursor as the radical
source.

An efficient carbene-catalyzed formal
[4 + 2] annulation of β-silyl enones with a HOBT ester followed by ring opening with nucleophiles
provides γ-keto-β-silyl esters and amides, most with extremely high
enantioselectivities. γ-Keto-β-silyl esters can be easily converted into
enantioenriched β,σ-dihydroxyl esters.
