Abstract

Abstract The performance of tert-alkylations, alkoxyalkylations, and aldehyde enolate allylations proceeding with low catalyst loading (0.1 mol%–5 mol%) is described. The reactions are complete within short times and can even be performed without solvent and under ambient conditions. The mechanism of the reaction was investigated by deuterium labeling and cross-over studies.
