Abstract

The formation of C–C bonds is at the very heart of synthetic chemistry for building the carbon skeleton of molecules. This chapter gives an overview of the catalytic systems developed in recent years based on 3d metals for the α-alkylation of ketones with primary and secondary alcohols by hydrogen auto-transfer.
