Abstract
Tractable and commercially available esters (and amides) of β-hydroxypropionic acid serve as malonic semialdehyde proelectrophiles in enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen autotransfer crotylations mediated by butadiene. Through iterative asymmetric butadiene-mediated crotylations of ethyl 3-hydroxypropanoate, total syntheses of the polyketide natural products octalactin A and B were achieved in fewer steps than previously possible.

Abstract
Amphidinolides C, F, and U, including C2-C4 analogs, are highly cytotoxic marine macrolides, mainly isolated from dinoflagellates of the genus Amphidinium. All these polyketides share a 75 % or more similar structure, highlighted by a macrolactone ring, at least one trans-2,5-substituted-THF motif and a characteristic polyenic side chain. From their isolation and absolute configurational assignment, the total synthesis of these marine macrolides represented an intense challenge to the organic synthesis community over the last 15 years, with around 14 research groups engaged in this inspiring task. In the first part of this review, we present the different approaches to the isolation and characterization of these natural products, including the most recent analogs, which may cast doubt on the biogenetic origin of these compounds. The various synthetic approaches to the total synthesis of C, F, and U amphidinolides are presented in a second part, focusing on key reactions and/or innovative strategies. The review concludes in a third section summarizing the successful approaches leading to the total synthesis of one of the members of this amphidinolide subfamily.

Abstract
Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated derivative, while recent years have seen a vast increase in the number of complexity-building transformations that directly harness unprotected alcohols. This Review discusses how transition metal catalysis can be used toward this goal. These transformations are broadly classified into three categories. Deoxygenative functionalizations, representing derivatization of the C-O bond, enable the alcohol to act as a leaving group toward the formation of new C-C bonds. Etherifications, characterized by derivatization of the O-H bond, represent classical reactivity that has been modernized to include mild reaction conditions, diverse reaction partners, and high selectivities. Lastly, chain functionalization reactions are described, wherein the alcohol group acts as a mediator in formal C-H functionalization reactions of the alkyl backbone. Each of these three classes of transformation will be discussed in context of intermolecular arylation, alkylation, and related reactions, illustrating how catalysis can enable alcohols to be directly harnessed for organic synthesis.

Abstract
Experimental and computational studies illuminating the factors that guide metal-centered stereogenicity and, therefrom, selectivity in transfer hydrogenative carbonyl additions of alcohol proelectrophiles catalyzed by chiral-at-metal-and-ligand octahedral d6 metal ions, iridium(III) and ruthenium(II), are described. To augment or invert regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity, predominantly one from among as many as 15 diastereomeric-at-metal complexes is required. For iridium(III) catalysts, cyclometalation assists in defining the metal stereocenter, and for ruthenium(II) catalysts, iodide counterions play a key role. Whereas classical strategies to promote selectivity in metal catalysis aim for high-symmetry transition states, well-defined low-symmetry transition states can unlock selectivities that are otherwise difficult to achieve or inaccessible.

Abstract
Polypropionates, characterized by their alternating sequence of stereocenters bearing methyl- and hydroxy-groups, are structurally diverse natural products of utmost importance.[1] Herein, we introduce a novel concept approach towards polypropionate synthesis featuring a diastereodivergent reductive epoxide-opening as a key step. Readily available and stereochemically uniform trisubstituted sec-glycidols serve as branching points for the highly selective synthesis of all isomers of polypropionate building blocks with three or more consecutive stereocenters. Stereodiversification is accomplished by an unprecedented mechanism-control over the stereochemically complementary modification of the epoxide's tertiary C-atom with excellent control of regio- and stereoselectivity. Since our method is not only suited for the preparation of specific targets but also for compound libraries, it will have a great impact on polypropionate synthesis.

Abstract
Metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT) has been recognized as a powerful method for alkene functionalization; however, photochemical MAT-mediated chemoselective functionalization of dienes remains undeveloped.

Abstract
Enantioconvergent catalysis has expanded asymmetric synthesis to new methodologies able to convert racemic compounds into a single enantiomer. This review covers recent advances in transition-metal-catalyzed transformations, such as radical-based cross-coupling of racemic alkyl electrophiles with nucleophiles or racemic alkylmetals with electrophiles and reductive cross-coupling of two electrophiles mainly under Ni/bis(oxazoline) catalysis. C-H functionalization of racemic electrophiles or nucleophiles can be performed in an enantioconvergent manner. Hydroalkylation of alkenes, allenes, and acetylenes is an alternative to cross-coupling reactions. Hydrogen autotransfer has been applied to amination of racemic alcohols and C-C bond forming reactions (Guerbet reaction). Other metal-catalyzed reactions involve addition of racemic allylic systems to carbonyl compounds, propargylation of alcohols and phenols, amination of racemic 3-bromooxindoles, allenylation of carbonyl compounds with racemic allenolates or propargyl bromides, and hydroxylation of racemic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds.

Abstract
In this Perspective, the use of methanol and ethanol as C1 and C2 feedstocks in metal-catalyzed C-C couplings to π-unsaturated pronucleophiles via hydrogen auto-transfer is surveyed. In these processes, alcohol oxidation to form an aldehyde electrophile is balanced by reduction of an π-unsaturated hydrocarbon to form a transient organometallic nucleophile. Mechanistically related reductive couplings of paraformaldehyde mediated by alcohol reductants or formic acid also are described. These processes encompass the first catalytic enantioselective C-C couplings of methanol and ethanol and, more broadly, illustrate how the native reducing ability of alcohols enable the departure from premetalated reagents in carbonyl addition.

Abstract
The first systematic study of catalytic enantioselective 1,2-additions to acrolein is described. Specifically, using allyl alcohol as a tractable, inexpensive acrolein proelectrophile, iridium-catalyzed acrolein allylation is achieved with high levels of regio-, anti-diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. This process delivers 3-hydroxy-1,5-hexadienes, a useful compound class that is otherwise challenging to access via enantioselective catalysis. Two-fold use of this method unlocks concise total syntheses of amphidinolide R (9 vs 23 steps, LLS) and amphidinolide J (9 vs 23 or 26 steps, LLS), which are prepared in fewer than half the steps previously possible, and the first total synthesis of amphidinolide S (10 steps, LLS).

Abstract
Apratoxin A is a potent anticancer natural product whose key polyketide fragment constitutes a considerable challenge for organic synthesis, with five prior syntheses requiring 12 to 20 steps for its preparation. By combining different redox-economical catalytic stereoselective transformations, the key polyketide fragment could be rapidly prepared. Followed by a site-selective protection of the diol, this strategy enables the preparation of the apratoxin A fragment in only six steps, representing the shortest route to this polyketide.

Abstract
ConspectusCyclometalated π-allyliridium-C,O-benzoate complexes discovered in the Krische laboratory display unique amphiphilic properties, catalyzing both nucleophilic carbonyl allylation and electrophilic allylation of diverse amines as well as nitronates. Given the importance of chiral amines in FDA-approved small-molecule drugs, a collaboration with medicinal chemists at Genentech that included on-site graduate student internships was undertaken to explore and expand the scope of π-allyliridium-C,O-benzoate-catalyzed allylic amination and related processes. As described in this Account, our collective experimental studies have unlocked asymmetric allylic aminations of exceptionally broad utility and scope. Specifically, using racemic branched alkyl-substituted allylic acetate proelectrophiles, primary and secondary aliphatic or aromatic amines, including indoles, engage in highly regio- and enantioselective allylic amination. Additionally, unactivated nitronates were found to be competent nucleophilic partners for regio- and enantioselective allylic alkylation, enabling entry to β-stereogenic α-quaternary primary amines. Notably, these π-allyliridium-C,O-benzoate-catalyzed allylic substitutions, which display complete branched regioselectivity in reactions of alkyl-substituted allyl electrophiles, complement the scope of corresponding iridium phosphoramidite-catalyzed allylic aminations, which require aryl-substituted allyl electrophiles to promote high levels of branched regioselectivity. Computational, kinetic, ESI-CID-MS, and isotopic labeling studies were undertaken to understand the mechanism of these processes, including the origins of regio- and enantioselectivity. Isotopic labeling studies suggest that C-N bond formation occurs through outer-sphere addition to the π-allyl. DFT calculations corroborate C-N bond formation via outer-sphere addition and suggest that early transition states and distinct trans effects of diastereomeric chiral-at-iridium π-allyl complexes render the reaction less sensitive to steric effects, accounting for complete levels of branched regioselectivity in reactions of hindered amine and nitronate nucleophiles. Reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA) reveals a zero-order dependence on allyl acetate, a first-order dependence on the catalyst, and a fractional-order dependence on the amine. As corroborated by ESI-CID-MS analysis, the 0.4 kinetic order dependence on the amine may reflect the intervention of cesium-bridged amine dimers, which dissociate to form monomeric cesium amide nucleophiles. Hence, the requirement of cesium carbonate (vs lower alkali metal carbonates) in these processes may reside in cesium's capacity for Lewis acid-enhanced Brønsted acidification of the amine pronucleophile. Beyond the development of catalytic processes for the synthesis of novel chiral amines, the present research was conducted by graduate students who benefited from career development experiences associated with training in both academic and industrial laboratories.

Abstract
The mechanism of π-allyliridium C,O-benzoate-catalyzed allylic amination was studied by (a) reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA), (b) tandem ESI-MS analysis, and (c) computational studies involving density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Reaction progress kinetic analysis (RPKA) reveals a zero-order dependence on allyl acetate, first-order dependence on catalyst and fractional-order dependence on amine. These data corroborate rapid ionization of the allylic acetate followed by turnover limiting C-N bond formation. To illuminate the origins of the 0.4 kinetic order dependence on amine, ESI-MS analyses of quaternary ammonium-labelled piperazine with multistage collision induced dissociation (CID) were conducted that corroborate intervention of cesium-bridged amine dimers that dissociate to form monomeric cesium amide nucleophiles. Computational data align with RPKA and ESI-CID-MS analyses and suggest early transition states mitigate the impact of steric factors, thus enabling formation of highly substituted C-N bonds with complete levels of branched regioselectivity. Specifically, trans-effects of the iridium complex facilitate nucleophilic attack at the more substituted allyl terminus trans to phosphorus with enantioselectivity governed by steric repulsions between the chiral bisphosphine ligand and the π-allyl of a dominant diastereomer of the stereogenic-at-metal complex. Beyond defining aspects of the mechanism of π-allyliridium C,O-benzoate-catalyzed allylic amination, these data reveal that a key feature of cesium carbonate not only lies in its enhanced basicity, but also its capacity for Lewis-acid enhanced Brønsted acidification of amines.

Abstract
Atom-efficient processes that occur via addition, redistribution or removal of hydrogen underlie many large volume industrial processes and pervade all segments of chemical industry. Although carbonyl addition is one of the oldest and most broadly utilized methods for C-C bond formation, the delivery of non-stabilized carbanions to carbonyl compounds has relied on premetalated reagents or metallic/organometallic reductants, which pose issues of safety and challenges vis-à-vis large volume implementation. Catalytic carbonyl reductive couplings promoted via hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation and hydrogen auto-transfer allow abundant unsaturated hydrocarbons to serve as substitutes to organometallic reagents, enabling C-C bond formation in the absence of stoichiometric metals. This perspective (a) highlights past milestones in catalytic hydrogenation, hydrogen transfer and hydrogen auto-transfer, (b) summarizes current methods for catalytic enantioselective carbonyl reductive couplings, and (c) describes future opportunities based on the patterns of reactivity that animate transformations of this type.

Abstract
Atom and step economical total syntheses of spliceosome modulating natural products pladienolides A and B are described. The strategic functionalization of an unsaturated macrolide precursor enabled the most concise syntheses of these natural products to date and provides convenient, flexible access to stereodefined macrolides to streamline medicinal chemistry explorations. Notably, this synthetic route does not depend on protecting group manipulations that traditionally define synthesis planning for polyhydroxylated natural products of polyketide origin. Its utility is further demonstrated by the enantioselective total synthesis of H3B-8800, a hitherto semisynthetic pladienolide-derived spliceosome modulator undergoing clinical trials for hematological malignancies.

Abstract
The regio- and enantioselective allylic substitution of branched alkyl-substituted allylic acetates employing malonates has been achieved through a process that calls for Krische's π-allyliridium C,O-benzoate catalyst. The protocol reported herein can be applied to a diverse set of branched alkyl substrates that are generally not well tolerated in the other two types of Ir-catalyzed allylation.

Abstract
An enantioselective synthesis of the C(1)-C(15) segment of the marine natural product amphidinolide C has been accomplished by a route that includes a stereoselective boron-Wittig reaction to furnish a trisubstituted alkenylboronate. In addition, the route employs enantioselective alkene diboration to install the C(6) hydroxyl group which undergoes intramolecular conjugate addition to establish a tetrahydrofuran ring. Lastly, a catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is accomplished to construct the C(9)-C(10) bond.

Abstract
Use of abundant feedstock pronucleophiles in catalytic carbonyl reductive coupling enhances efficiency in target-oriented synthesis. For such reactions, equally inexpensive reductants are desired or, ideally, corresponding hydrogen autotransfer processes may be enacted wherein alcohols serve dually as reductant and carbonyl proelectrophile. As described in this Minireview, these concepts allow reactions that traditionally require preformed organometallic reagents to be conducted catalytically in a byproduct-free manner from inexpensive π-unsaturated precursors.

Abstract
As the programs for computer-aided retrosynthetic design come of age, they are no longer identifying just one or few synthetic routes but a multitude of chemically plausible syntheses, together forming large, directed graphs of solutions. An important problem then emerges: how to select from these graphs and present to the user manageable numbers of top-scoring pathways that are cost-effective, promote convergent vs. linear solutions, and are chemically diverse so that they do not repeat only minor variations in the same chemical theme. This paper describes a family of reaction network algorithms that address this problem by (i) using recursive formulae to assign realistic prices to individual pathways and (ii) applying penalties to chemically similar strategies so that they are not dominating the top-scoring routes. Synthetic examples are provided to illustrate how these algorithms can be implemented - on the timescales of ∼1 s even for large graphs - to rapidly query the space of synthetic solutions under the scenarios of different reaction yields and/or costs associated with performing reaction operations on different scales.

Abstract
Alcohol-mediated carbonyl addition has enabled catalytic enantioselective syntheses of diverse fluorine-containing compounds without the need for stoichiometric metals or discrete redox manipulations. Reactions of this type may be separated into two broad categories: redox-neutral hydrogen auto-transfer reactions wherein lower alcohols and n-unsaturated pronucleophiles are converted to higher alcohols and corresponding 2-propanol mediated carbonyl reductive couplings.

Abstract
In the presence of a chiral iridium complex, commercially available 3-chloro-2-chloromethyl-1-propene (1) was selectively activated for various reductive couplings. Depending on the reaction conditions it allows a selective mono- or bidirectional condensation with one or two external aldehydes with excellent enantiocontrol (>90% ee). This approach occurring simply under mild conditions and avoiding premetalated reagents constructs rapidly chiral homoallylic alcohols, key precursors of important molecular fragments such as furans, pyrans, ketodiols, or 1,3,5-polyols.

Abstract
Enantioselectivity increases with increasing carbonyl electrophilicity in 2-propanol-mediated reductive couplings of aldehydes with branched aryl-substituted allylic acetates to form products of carbonyl anti-(α-aryl)allylation. This unusual phenomenon is caused by aldehyde coordination to diastereomeric kinetic vs thermodynamic carbonyl binding sites that deliver enantiomeric products. Exploiting this effect, anti-diastereo- and enantioselective (α-aryl)allylations of fluoral hydrate and difluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal were developed.

Abstract
Cyclometalated π-allyliridium C,O-benzoates modified by ( S)-SEGPHOS or ( S)-Cl,OMe-BIPHEP catalyze enantioselective 2-propanol-mediated reductive couplings of diverse nonmetallic allyl pronucleophiles with the acetylenic aldehyde TIPSC≡CCHO. Absolute stereochemistries of the resulting secondary homoallylic-propargylic alcohols were assigned using Rychnovsky's competing enantioselective conversion method.

Abstract
After seminal Tsuji-Trost reactions (palladium catalyzed allylation of nucleophiles via π-allyl intermediates as electrophiles), the idea of reversal reactivity of π-allyl intermediates (i.e. π-allyl as nucleophiles) has been stated since the eighties. Thanks to different transition metal sources and the modification of their electronic environment through the use of additives and ligands, such 'reactivity switch' of π-allyl intermediates proved its powerfulness allowing high control in regio-, diastereo- and enantio-selectivities. These methodologies have thus emerged as efficient methods in the catalytic enantioselective allylation of carbonyl compounds and imines with a deep impact on natural product and/or drug elaboration. This tutorial review highlights the concept of 'umpoled' reactivity of π-allyl intermediates, relying on selected recent examples.

Abstract
The first examples of amphiphilic reactivity in the context of enantioselective catalysis are described. Commercially available π-allyliridium C,O-benzoates, which are stable to air, water and SiO2 chromatography, and are well-known to catalyze allyl acetate-mediated carbonyl allylation, are now shown to catalyze highly chemo-, regio- and enantioselective substitutions of branched allylic acetates bearing linear alkyl groups with primary amines.

Abstract
Merging the characteristics of transfer hydrogenation and carbonyl addition, we have developed a new class of catalytic enantioselective C-C bond formations. In these processes, hydrogen transfer between alcohols and π-unsaturated reactants generates carbonyl-organometal pairs that combine to deliver products of addition. On the basis of this mechanistic paradigm, lower alcohols are converted directly to higher alcohols in the absence of premetalated reagents or discrete alcohol-to-carbonyl redox reactions. In certain cases, due to a pronounced kinetic preference for primary versus secondary alcohol dehydrogenation, diols and higher polyols are found to engage in catalytic stereo- and site-selective C-C bond formation-a capability that further enhances efficiency by enabling skeletal construction events without extraneous manipulations devoted to the installation and removal of protecting groups. While this Account focuses on redox-neutral couplings of alcohols, corresponding aldehyde reductive couplings mediated by 2-propanol were developed in parallel for most of the catalytic transformations reported herein. Mechanistically, two distinct classes of alcohol C-H functionalizations have emerged, which are distinguished by the mode of pronucleophile activation, specifically, processes wherein alcohol oxidation is balanced by (a) π-bond hydrometalation or (b) C-X bond reductive cleavage. Each pathway offers access to allylmetal or allenylmetal intermediates and, therefrom, enantiomerically enriched homoallylic or homopropargylic alcohol products, respectively. In the broadest terms, carbonyl addition mediated by premetalated reagents has played a central role in synthetic organic chemistry for well over a century, but the requisite organometallic reagents pose issues of safety, require multistep syntheses, and generate stoichiometric quantities of metallic byproducts. The concepts and catalytic processes described in this Account, conceived and developed wholly within the author's laboratory, signal a departure from the use of stoichiometric organometallic reagents in carbonyl addition. Rather, they reimagine carbonyl addition as a hydrogen autotransfer process or cross-coupling in which alcohol reactants, by virtue of their native reducing ability, drive the generation of transient organometallic nucleophiles and, in doing so, serve dually as carbonyl proelectrophiles. The catalytic allylative and propargylative transformations developed to date display capabilities far beyond their classical counterparts, and their application to the total synthesis of type-I polyketide natural products have evoked a step-change in efficiency. More importantly, the present data suggest that diverse transformations traditionally reliant on premetalated reagents may now be conducted catalytically without stoichiometric metals. This Account provides the reader and potential practitioner with a catalog of enantioselective alcohol-mediated carbonyl additions-a user's guide, 10-year retrospective, and foundation for future work in this emerging area of catalytic C-C bond formation.

Abstract
Polyketide synthases (PKSs) represent a powerful catalytic platform capable of effecting multiple carbon-carbon bond forming reactions and oxidation state adjustments. We explored the functionality of two terminal PKS modules that produce the 16-membered tylosin macrocycle, using them as biocatalysts in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of tylactone and its subsequent elaboration to complete the first total synthesis of the juvenimicin, M-4365, and rosamicin classes of macrolide antibiotics via late-stage diversification. Synthetic chemistry was employed to generate the tylactone hexaketide chain elongation intermediate that was accepted by the juvenimicin (Juv) ketosynthase of the penultimate JuvEIV PKS module. The hexaketide is processed through two complete modules (JuvEIV and JuvEV) in vitro, which catalyze elongation and functionalization of two ketide units followed by cyclization of the resulting octaketide into tylactone. After macrolactonization, a combination of in vivo glycosylation, selective in vitro cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation, and chemical oxidation was used to complete the scalable construction of a series of macrolide natural products in as few as 15 linear steps (21 total) with an overall yield of 4.6%.

Abstract
Glycidols prepared via Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation participate in asymmetric redox-neutral carbonyl allylation with good levels of catalyst-directed diastereoselectivity. Equally stereoselective allylations may be performed from the aldehyde oxidation level using 2-propanol as the terminal reductant. An epoxide ring-opening reaction using AlMe3-n-BuLi is used to prepare the propionate-based stereotetrad spanning C17-C23 of dictyostatin, illustrating how this method may be applied to polyketide construction.

Abstract
A highly chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselective catalytic method that efficiently combines a silyl hydride, vinyl-B(pin) (pin=pinacolato) and (E)-1,2-disubstituted allylic phosphates is introduced. Reactions, best promoted by a Cu-based complex with a chiral sulfonate-containing N-heterocyclic carbene, are broadly applicable. Aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl-, alkynyl- and alkyl-substituted allylic phosphates may thus be converted to the corresponding homoallylic boronates and then alcohols (after C-B bond oxidation) in 46-91 % yield and in up to >98 % SN 2':SN 2 ratio, 96:4 diastereomeric ratio and 98:2 enantiomeric ratio. The reasons why an NHC-Cu catalyst is uniquely effective (vs. the corresponding phosphine systems) and the basis for different trends in stereoselectivity are provided with the aid of DFT calculations.

Abstract
The development and application of stereoselective and site-selective catalytic methods that directly convert lower alcohols to higher alcohols are described. These processes merge the characteristics of transfer hydrogenation and carbonyl addition, exploiting alcohols and π-unsaturated reactants as redox pairs, which upon hydrogen transfer generate transient carbonyl-organometal pairs en route to products of C-C coupling. Unlike classical carbonyl additions, stoichiometric organometallic reagents and discrete alcohol-to-carbonyl redox reactions are not required. Additionally, due to a kinetic preference for primary alcohol dehydrogenation, the site-selective modification of glycols and higher polyols is possible, streamlining or eliminating use of protecting groups. The total syntheses of several iconic type I polyketide natural products were undertaken using these methods. In each case, the target compounds were prepared in significantly fewer steps than previously achieved.

Chiral iridium complexes modified by SEGPHOS catalyze the 2-propanol-mediated reductive coupling of branched allylic acetates 1a-1o with formaldehyde to form primary homoallylic alcohols 2a-2o with excellent control of regio- and enantioselectivity. These processes, which rely on enantiotopic π-facial discrimination of σ-allyliridium intermediates, represent the first examples of enantioselective formaldehyde C-C coupling beyond aldol addition.

Abstract
The first enantioselective carbonyl crotylations through direct use of alkynes as chiral allylmetal equivalents are described. Chiral ruthenium(II) complexes modified by Josiphos (SL-J009-1) catalyze the C-C coupling of TIPS-protected propargyl ether 1a with primary alcohols 2a-2o to form products of carbonyl siloxy-crotylation 3a-3o, which upon silyl deprotection-reduction deliver 1,4-diols 5a-5o with excellent control of regio-, anti-diastereo-, and enantioselectivity. Structurally related propargyl ethers 1b and 1c bearing ethyl- and phenyl-substituents engage in diastereo- and enantioselective coupling, as illustrated in the formation of adducts 5p and 5q, respectively. Selective mono-tosylation of diols 5a, 5c, 5e, 5f, 5k, and 5m is accompanied by spontaneous cyclization to deliver the trans-2,3-disubstituted furans 6a, 6c, 6e, 6f, 6k, and 6m, respectively. Primary alcohols 2a, 2l, and 2p were converted to the siloxy-crotylation products 3a, 3l, and 3p, which upon silyl deprotection-lactol oxidation were transformed to the trans-4,5-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones 7a, 7l, and 7p. The formation of 7p represents a total synthesis of (+)-trans-whisky lactone. Unlike closely related ruthenium catalyzed alkyne-alcohol C-C couplings, deuterium labeling studies provide clear evidence of a novel 1,2-hydride shift mechanism that converts metal-bound alkynes to π-allyls in the absence of intervening allenes.
