32. A notable exception involves the chirally modified allyl silanes developed by Leighton (ref 31), for which highly efficient recovery of the chiral auxiliary is possible.
33. To our knowledge, the first examples of enantioselective Lewis acid-catalyzed carbonyl allylation were reported by Yamamoto in 1991. While additions of substituted allylic silanes gave highly optically enriched product, only a single example of the parent allylation employing allyltrimethylsilane was given, which proceeds in 55% enantiomeric excess: Furuta, K.; Mouri, M.; Yamamoto, H. Synlett 1991, 561.

94. Formal substitution of alcohols by C-nucleophiles may be achieved under the conditions of hydrogen auto-transfer by way of oxidation-condensation- reduction. The alcohol-unsaturate couplings developed in our laboratory provide products of carbonyl addition, representing a formal C-H functionalization of the carbinol carbon.

Carboxylate-assisted metalation of arenes exhibits acid-base character, requiring a certain level of electron deficiency at the carbon undergoing substitution. Our data suggest that cyclometalation of m-nitrobenzoic acid is especially facile due to the confluence of the following effects. The nitro moiety withdraws electron density through the π-system and the σ-framework, activating the positions ortho and para to the nitro moiety. The carboxy moiety assists ortho-metalation by reducing the entropy of activation and through enthalpic stabilization of the product through chelation.
