Highly Enantioselective Alkylation Reaction of Enamides by Brønsted-Acid Catalysis

TLDR
A phosphoric acid derived from H8-BINOL enabled an asymmetric alpha-alkylation of enamides with indolyl alcohols to give beta-aryl 3-(3-indolyl)propanones in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivity.

Merging Photoredox Catalysis with Organocatalysis: The Direct Asymmetric Alkylation of Aldehydes

TL;DR: The enantioselective intermolecular α-alkylation of aldehydes has been accomplished using an interwoven activation pathway that combines both the photoredox catalyst Ru(bpy)3Cl2 and an imidazolidinone organocatalyst.
