Abstract

Eddie L. Myers, Johannes G. de Vries, and Varinder K. Aggarwal* α-Functionalization of alkenes activated by electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) encompass an important CÀC bondforming strategy in organic synthesis, and can be realized in one of three ways: a) metal-catalyzed functionalization of αhalogeno [1] or α-metallo substrates;[2] b) a vinylogous enolization, α-alkylation, and isomerization sequence;[3] or c) nucleophilic catalysis: the ...
