A convenient copper-catalyzed decarboxylative and oxidative decarbonylative cross-coupling of cinnamic acids with aliphatic aldehydes was achieved, which provides a useful strategy of C(sp3)–C(sp2) bonds construction for the synthesis of alkyl-substituted E-alkenes.

Herein, we describe a protocol for alkylation reactions of C(sp3)–H bonds with diacyl peroxides by means of a process involving cross-coupling between an alkyl radical and an α-aminoalkyl radical.

We report the development of a mild, convenient coupling of aliphatic aldehydes and unactivated alkyl bromides. The catalytic system features the use of a common Ni(II) precatalyst and a readily available bisoxazoline ligand and affords silyl-protected secondary alcohols. The reaction is operationally simple, utilizing Mn as a stoichiometric reductant, and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Initial mechanistic experiments support a mechanism featuring an alpha-silyloxy Ni species which undergoes formal oxidative addition of the alkyl bromide species via a reductive cross-coupling pathway.

The mechanism of the reactions between dppf-Ni0 complexes and alkyl halides has been investigated using kinetic and mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations. The active species is [Ni(dppf)2], which undergoes a halide abstraction reaction with alkyl halides and rapidly captures the alkyl radical that is formed. The yields in prototypical nickel-catalysed Kumada cross-coupling reactions are shown to be improved by the addition of free phosphine ligands<br>

Easy available alpha-carbonyl acetates serve as convenient alkyl radical source for an efficient, photocatalytic crosscoupling with a great variety of styrenes. Activation of electronically different alpha-acetylated acetophenone derivatives could be effected via LUMO lowering catalysis using a superior, synergistic combination of water and (water-compatible) Lewis acids. Deliberate application of <i>fac</i>-Ir(ppy)<sub>3</sub> as photocatalyst to enforce an oxidative quenching cycle is crucial to the success of this (umpolung type) transformation. Mechanistic particulars of this dual catalytic coupling reaction have been studied in detail using both Stern-Volmer and cyclic voltammetry experiments. As demonstrated in more than 30 examples, our waterassisted<br>LA/photoredox catalytic activation strategy allows for excess-free, equimolar radical cross-coupling and subsequent formal Markovnikov hydroxylation to versatile 1,4-difunctionalized products in good to excellent yields.
