Although mechanistically different, a successful kinetic resolution of cyclic allyl ethers has recently been achieved by zirconium catalysis [2201. Other metals such as cobalt [221], ruthenium [222], and iron [2231 have been shown to catalyze allylic alkylation reactions via metal-allyl complexes. However, their catalytic systems have not been thoroughly investigated, and the corresponding asymmetric catalytic processes have not been forthcoming. Nevertheless, increasing interest in the use of alternative metals for asymmetric alkylation will undoubtedly promote further research in this area. 

Intramolecular Reactions of Alkynes with Carboxylic Acids, Alcohols, and Amines. Addition of carboxylic acids, alcohols, and amines to alkynes via oxypaUadation and aminopallada-tion proceeds with catalysis by Pd salts. Intramolecular additions are particularly facile. Unsaturated y-lactones are obtained by the treatment of 3-alkynoic acid and 4-alkynoic acid with Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 in THF in the presence of Et3N (eq 54), and -lactones are obtained from5-alkynoic acids. 5-Hydroxyalkynes are converted to the cyclic enol ethers (eq 55). The oxypalla-dation is a irons addition. Thus stereoselective enol ether formation by reaction of the alkynoic alcohol with Pd(PhCN)2Cl2, followed by reduction with ammonium formate, has been applied to the synthesis of prostacyclin (eq 56). Intramolecular addition of amines affords cyclic imines. 3-Alkynylamines are cyclized to 1-pyrrolines while 5-alkynylamines are converted to 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridines (eq 57). ...
