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.

Catalytic C–N bond formation is one of the major research topics in synthetic chemistry owing to the ubiquity of amino groups in natural products, synthetic intermediates and pharmaceutical agents. In parallel with well-established metal-catalyzed C–N bond coupling protocols, photocatalytic reactions have recently emerged as efficient and selective alternatives for the construction of C–N bonds. In this review, the progress made on photocatalytic C–N bond coupling reactions between 2012 and February 2020 is summarized.1 Introduction1.1 General Mechanisms for Photoredox Catalysis1.2 Pioneering Work2 C(sp2)–N Bond Formation2.1 Protocols Involving an External Oxidant2.2 Oxidant-Free Protocols3 C(sp3)–N Bond Formation3.1 Direct Radical–Radical Coupling3.2 Addition Reactions to Alkenes3.3 Reductive Amination of Carbonyl Compounds3.4 Decarboxylative Amination4 Cyclization Reactions4.1 C(sp2)–N Heterocycle Formation4.2 C(sp3)–N Heterocycle Formation5 Other Examples6 Conclusion and Outlook
