Abstract
Pd2dba3·CHCl3 (2.5 mol%)-BINAPHANE (5 mol%) was used to promote the first catalytic enantioselective allylation of disubstituted ketenes to give α-allyl esters. The ester products were formed in good to excellent yields (61-93% yield for 13 examples, 16 examples in all), with moderate to good enantioselectivity (68-80% ee for 7 examples).

Abstract
The asymmetric α-allylation of α-aryl-substituted 2-acetyl imidazoles synergistically catalyzed by Ni/Pd catalysts has been developed. In this process, the nickel-bisoxazoline complex activates the enolate of an acetyl imidazole, which then reacts with a π-allyl palladium electrophile generated from an allyl alcohol derivative by a palladium-based catalyst. A broad scope of substrates was suitable for this reaction. The utility of this method was demonstrated by a gram-scale reaction and subsequent elaboration of the allylation products.

Abstract
The asymmetric alkylation of enolates is a particularly versatile method for the construction of α-stereogenic carbonyl motifs, which are ubiquitous in synthetic chemistry. Over the past several decades, the focus has shifted to the development of new catalytic methods that depart from classical stoichiometric stereoinduction strategies (e.g., chiral auxiliaries, chiral alkali metal amide bases, chiral electrophiles, etc.). In this way, the enantioselective alkylation of prochiral enolates greatly improves the step- and redox-economy of this process, in addition to enhancing the scope and selectivity of these reactions. In this review, we summarize the origin and advancement of catalytic enantioselective enolate alkylation methods, with a directed emphasis on the union of prochiral nucleophiles with carbon-centered electrophiles for the construction of α-stereogenic carbonyl derivatives. Hence, the transformative developments for each distinct class of nucleophile (e.g., ketone enolates, ester enolates, amide enolates, etc.) are presented in a modular format to highlight the state-of-the-art methods and current limitations in each area.

Abstract
This Review compiles the evolution, mechanistic understanding, and more recent advances in enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution and decarboxylative and oxidative allylic substitutions. For each reaction, the catalytic data, as well as examples of their application to the synthesis of more complex molecules, are collected. Sections in which we discuss key mechanistic aspects for high selectivity and a comparison with other metals (with advantages and disadvantages) are also included. For Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution, the catalytic data are grouped according to the type of nucleophile employed. Because of the prominent position of the use of stabilized carbon nucleophiles and heteronucleophiles, many chiral ligands have been developed. To better compare the results, they are presented grouped by ligand types. Pd-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative reactions are mainly promoted by PHOX or Trost ligands, which justifies organizing this section in chronological order. For asymmetric oxidative allylic substitution the results are grouped according to the type of nucleophile used.

Abstract
The development of a multifunctional catalyst, which mimics the promiscuity of enzymes, that would catalyze more than one chemical transformation in a single reaction vessel is one of the key points of modern sustainable chemistry. The results of our experiments indicated that Grubbs-type catalysts possess such multitask activity, catalyzing the transvinylation reaction of carboxylic acids without losing their original metathetic activity. This new activity of Grubbs catalysts was evidenced on several examples. It allows us to design a transvinylation/ring-closing metathesis (RCM) cascade reaction leading to the formation of endocyclic enol lactones from unsaturated carboxylic acids in an one-pot procedure. This unique ability of Grubbs catalyst to catalyze multiple mechanically distinct cascade reactions in a chemoselective way offers the new possibility for the synthesis of complex compounds from simple, easily accessible substrates.

Abstract
Enantioselective allylic substitution with enolates derived from aliphatic esters under mild conditions remains challenging. Herein we report iridium-catalyzed enantioselective allylation reactions of silyl ketene acetals, the silicon enolates of esters, to form products containing a quaternary carbon atom at the nucleophile moiety and a tertiary carbon atom at the electrophile moiety. Under relatively neutral conditions, the allylated aliphatic esters were obtained with excellent regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. These products were readily converted into primary alcohols, carboxylic acids, amides, isocyanates, and carbamates, as well as tetrahydrofuran and γ-butyrolactone derivatives, without erosion of enantiomeric purity.
