RESUMO
Alkyl boronic esters are highly valuable compounds in organic chemistry and related fields due to their good stability and highly versatile reactivity. In this edge article, stereoselective borylative couplings of vinyl iodides with various nucleophiles, alkenes or alkynes is reported. These coupling reactions proceed through stereospecific hydroboration and subsequent stereospecific 1,2-metallate rearrangement. The cascades utilize readily available reagents and proceed without the need of a transition metal catalyst.
RESUMO
A method is described for the isomerization of acyclic allylic alcohols into ß-functionalized ketones via 1,3-alkyl transposition. This reaction proceeds via light-driven proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) activation of the O-H bond in the allylic alcohol substrate, followed by C-C ß-scission of the resulting alkoxy radical. The transient alkyl radical and enone acceptor generated in the scission event subsequently recombine via radical conjugate addition to deliver ß-functionalized ketone products. A variety of allylic alcohol substrates bearing alkyl and acyl migratory groups were successfully accommodated. Insights from mechanistic studies led to a modified reaction protocol that improves reaction performance for challenging substrates.

Two-component Giese type radical additions are highly practical and established reactions. Herein, three-component radical conjugate additions of unactivated alkenes to Michael acceptors are reported. Amidyl radicals, oxidatively generated from α-amido oxy acids using redox catalysis, act as the third reaction component which add to the unactivated alkenes. The adduct radicals engage in Giese type additions to Michael acceptors to provide, after reduction, the three-component products in an overall alkene carboamination reaction. Transformations which can be conducted under practical mild conditions feature high functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope.
