Enantioselective Radical Addition/Cross‐Coupling of Organozinc Reagents, Alkyl Iodides, and Alkenyl Boron Reagents

Abstract

A hybrid transition-metal/radical process is described that results in the addition of organozinc reagents and alkyl halides across alkenyl boron reagents in an enantioselective catalytic fashion. The reaction can be accomplished both intermolecularly and intramolecularly, providing useful product yields and high enantioselectivities in both manifolds.
