An interesting example of enantioselective catalytic alkylation of carbonyl groups by unqiolung of 7r-allyl palladium complexes has been disclosed recently.A number of chiral ligands have been screened in the palladium-catalyzed alkylation of cyclohex-enyl acetate. The best performing ligand was the monodentate...

The carbonyl carbon of a ketone bears two electron releasing alkyl groups an aldehyde carbonyl group has only one Just as a disubstituted double bond m an alkene is more stable than a monosubstituted double bond a ketone carbonyl is more stable than an aldehyde carbonyl We 11 see later m this chapter that structural effects on the relative stability of carbonyl groups m aldehydes and ketones are an important factor m then rel ative reactivity... 

The direct addition of simple alkyl groups onto aldehydes is the most challenging in water. Mitzel reported the indium-mediated alkylation of carbonyl compounds with a-sulfur stabilized systems.224 Recently, Li and co-workers reported an efficient addition of simple alkyl halides to aldehydes mediated by Zn/Cul with a catalytic amount of InCl in water (Eq. 8.89).225... 

The prime functional group for constructing C-C bonds may be the carbonyl group, functioning as either an electrophile (Eq. 1) or via its enolate derivative as a nucleophile (Eqs. 2 and 3). The objective of this chapter is to survey the issue of asymmetric inductions involving the reaction between enolates derived from carbonyl compounds and alkyl halide electrophiles. The addition of a nucleophile toward a carbonyl group, especially in the catalytic manner, is presented as well. Asymmetric aldol reactions and the related allylation reactions (Eq. 3) are the topics of Chapter 3. Reduction of carbonyl groups is discussed in Chapter 4. 

Chapter 2 provided a general introduction to the a-alkylation of carbonyl compounds, as well as the enantioselective nucleophilic addition on carbonyl compounds. Chiral auxiliary aided a-alkylation of a carbonyl group can provide high enantioselectivity for most substrates, and the hydrazone method can provide routes to a large variety of a-substituted carbonyl compounds. While a-alkylation of carbonyl compounds involves the reaction of an enolate, the well known aldol reaction also involves enolates.

Since the electrophilic character of carbonyl groups in acid halides is more pronounced than in carboxylic anhydrides, the former are better suited for aza-Wittig reactions. Zbiral et al. studied the reaction of imino-phosphoranes with acid halides and obtained imidoyl halides (69LA29 72PS35). A -alkyl and A -aryl iminophosphoranes can be set to use in this reaction (72PS35). 

A study of the alkylation of the trimethylsilyl enol ether of octahydro-1 (2//)-naphthalenone reveals that the diastereoselectivity of the reaction is similar to that of the methylation of the corresponding lithium enolate (see Section 1.1.1.3.1.1.2 1.)89. Lewis acid cataly2ed phenyl-thioalkylations of the type indicated (i.e., 3 -> 4) have been used for a-alkylations of several cyclic and acyclic ketones, as well as aldehydes89. The easy removal of the phenylthio group by catalytic hydrogenation completes this convenient procedure for a-alkylation of carbonyl compounds89.

Answer. Three aspects of the scheme shown in Figure 13.2 may be examined by orbital interaction theory (a) the binding of CO compared to ethylene (b) the reactivity of coordinated carbonyl compared to ethylene with respect to reactivity toward intramolecular nucleophilic attack and (c) the migratory aptitude of alkyl versus carbonyl groups.
