Direct Catalytic Intermolecular α‐Allylic Alkylation of Aldehydes by Combination of Transition‐Metal and Organocatalysis

All in the same pot together: The direct catalytic α-allylic alkylation of aldehydes and cyclic ketones is achieved by using a simple, unprecedented one-pot procedure. Transition-metal and enamine catalysis are combined so that α-allylic alkylated aldehydes and cyclic ketones are formed in high yield with a direct catalytic chemo- and regioselective method.
