We describe catalytic asymmetric C–C formation using terminal alkyl-metal nucleophiles generated from internal olefins through a ‘chain-walking’ isomerization mechanism. Hydrometallation of internal olefins with the Schwartz reagent gives the least hindered alkyl-zirconocene after thermal (60°C in THF) isomerization. After switching the solvent from THF to dichloromethane, the alkyl-zirconocenes can be used in copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate additions. Addition to a variety of cyclic α,β-unsaturated species were achieved in modest (22–50 %) yield with high (84–92 % ee) enantioselectivity. This work demonstrates that remote C–H functionalization coupled with asymmetric C–C bond formation is possible, but the present procedures are limited in terms of yield and olefin scope.
