N-heterocyclic carbenes catalyze intramolecular β-alkylations of
α,β-unsaturated esters, amides, and nitriles that bear pendant leaving groups to
form a variety of ring sizes. The mechanism is discussed.

An intramolecular iodo-aldol cyclization of prochiral α-substituted enoate
aldehydes and ketones produces hetero- and carbocycles containing quaternary centers adjacent
to secondary or tertiary centers. The reactions occur in good yields and are
highly trans-selective with hydroxyl and iodomethyl
groups on opposite faces of the ring system.

The combination of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 with Xantphos
efficiently catalyzes a decarboxylative Heck reaction of vinyl arenes and vinyl
heteroarenes with aliphatic N-(acyloxy)phthalimides under irradiation of
blue LEDs at room temperature. A broad scope of secondary, tertiary, and
quaternary carboxylates, including α-amino acid derived esters, can be converted
with high stereoselectivity.
