The application of iminium catalysis to the challenging Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction on cyclopenten-2-one leads to the corresponding allylic alcohols in excellent yields. Experimental evidence shows that secondary amines act as co-catalysts activating the enone moiety towards the nucleophilic attack at the β-position by DABCO as the Lewis base catalyst, resulting in an augmented nucleophilic character towards the reaction with aldehydes.

Organic radicals are generally short-lived intermediates with exceptionally high reactivity. Strategically, achieving synthetically useful transformations mediated by organic radicals requires both efficient initiation and selective termination events. Here, we report a new catalytic strategy, namely bimetallic radical redox-relay, in the regio- and stereoselective rearrangement of epoxides to allylic alcohols. This approach exploits the rich redox chemistry of Ti and Co complexes and merges reductive epoxide ring opening (initiation) with hydrogen atom transfer (termination). Critically, upon effecting key bond-forming and -breaking events, Ti and Co catalysts undergo proton-transfer/electron-transfer with one another to achieve turnover, thus constituting a truly synergistic dual catalytic system.<br>

Hydrosilanes were synthesized by reduction of alkoxysilanes with BH3 in the presence of hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) as a Lewis-base catalyst. The reaction was also achieved using an inexpensive and easy-to-handle handled hydride source NaBH4, which reacted with EtBr as a sacrificial reagent to form BH3in situ.

The reactions of a series of substituted benzohydrazonoyl halides with cyclic secondary amines in benzene as solvent are investigated. The rate equations for these reactions were complex and the derived rate data are reported. The element effect data showed that the fluoro compounds only reacted when a second amine molecule was available to assist the reaction, whereas the chloro and bromo compounds reacted by reactions which were both first order and second order in amine (k′′Br : k′′Cl = 9·5 : 1 and k′′′Br :k′′′Cl : k′′′F = 4·7 : 1 : 0·65). The mechanism of these reactions is discussed.
