Abstract
Alkylation reactions are fundamental carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions in synthetic organic chemistry. Among them, intermolecular α-alkylation reactions of carbonyl compounds with alkenes are important because they are more atom-economical than the equivalent processes using alkyl halides. However, intermolecular reactions with nonactivated alkenes such as 1-hexene, which can allow the use of a wide range of valuable substrates, have been considered to be very challenging for a long time. In this review, radical-mediated intermolecular α-alkylation reactions of carbonyl compounds with nonactivated alkenes are discussed. The examples are grouped into three types of reactions: peroxide-mediated reactions, metal-oxidant-mediated reactions, and photoactivated reactions. Photoredox-catalyzed alkylation reactions under visible-light irradiation are discussed as a particularly promising recent hot topic. This review provides brief history and new prospects on the α-alkylation process with nonactivated alkenes using α-carbonyl radical species.

Abstract
Catalysis by trivalent nucleophilic organophosphines has emerged as an essential tool in organic synthesis. Several new organic transformations promoted by phosphines substantiate and complement the existing synthetic chemistry tools. Mere design of the substrate and reagent combinations has introduced new modes of reactivity patterns, which are otherwise difficult to achieve. These design considerations have led to the rapid build-up of complex molecular entities and laid a solid foundation to synthesise bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. This article presents an overview of some of the conceptual advances, including our contributions to nucleophilic organophosphine chemistry. The scope, limitations, mechanistic insights, and applications of these metal-free transformations are discussed elaborately.

Abstract
The desymmetric arylation of prochiral cyclohexadienones with ArZnCl in the presence of an (R)-segphos-rhodium catalyst gave high yields of the corresponding cyclohexenones, which contain a chiral arylated carbon center at the β-position and a chiral all-carbon quaternary center at the γ-position, with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. This catalytic system was also applied to the arylation of spirocarbocyclic cyclohexadienones and afforded the corresponding cyclohexenones bearing a chiral spiro quaternary carbon with high dr and ee.
