AbstractThis review presents an account of the palladium-catalyzed functionalizations of alkenes and alkynes developed at the Laboratory of Catalysis and Organic Synthesis (LCSO). Starting from the intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of alkenes, tethered methods were then developed to functionalize allylic amines and alcohols, as well as propargylic amines. Finally, a new dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation was developed based on the use of a ‘one-arm’ Trost-type ligand, giving access to enantiopure amino alcohols. Each section is a personal account by the researcher(s) who performed the work.1 Introduction,2 Oxy- and Aminoalkynylation of Olefins,3 In Situ Tethering Strategies for the Synthesis of Vicinal Amino Alcohols and Diamines,4 Carboamination of Allylic Alcohols,5 Carbooxygenation of Propargylic Amines,6 Enantioselective Carboetherification/Hydrogenation via a Catalytically Formed Chiral Auxiliary,7 Conclusion

Organic radicals are generally short-lived intermediates with exceptionally high reactivity. Strategically, achieving synthetically useful transformations mediated by organic radicals requires both efficient initiation and selective termination events. Here, we report a new catalytic strategy, namely bimetallic radical redox-relay, in the regio- and stereoselective rearrangement of epoxides to allylic alcohols. This approach exploits the rich redox chemistry of Ti and Co complexes and merges reductive epoxide ring opening (initiation) with hydrogen atom transfer (termination). Critically, upon effecting key bond-forming and -breaking events, Ti and Co catalysts undergo proton-transfer/electron-transfer with one another to achieve turnover, thus constituting a truly synergistic dual catalytic system.<br>
