α-Functionalization of carbonyl compounds in organic synthesis has traditionally been accomplished via classical enolate chemistry. As α-functionalized carbonyl moieties are ubiquitous in biologically and pharmaceutically valuable molecules, catalytic α-alkylations have been extensively studied, yielding a plethora of practical and efficient methodologies. Moreover, stereoselective carbon–carbon bond formation at the α-position of achiral carbonyl compounds has been achieved by using various transition metal–chiral ligand complexes. This review describes recent advances—in the last 20 years and especially focusing on the last 10 years—in transition metal-catalyzed α-alkylations of carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes, ketones, imines, esters, and amides and in efficient carbon–carbon bond formations. Active catalytic species and ligand design are discussed, and mechanistic insights are presented. In addition, recently developed photo-redox catalytic systems for α-alkylations are described as a versatile synthetic tool for the synthesis of chiral carbonyl-bearing molecules.
