A general and efficient route for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure α-substituted ketones and the corresponding lactones has been developed. Ruthenium- and enzyme-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) with a subsequent Cu-catalyzed α-allylic substitution are the key steps of the route.

The first example of Ir-catalyzed asymmetric substitution reaction with vinyl trifluoroborates is described. The direct reaction between branched, racemic allylic alcohols and potassium alkenyltrifluoroborates proceeded with high site selectivity and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99%) mediated by an Ir-(P,olefin) complex.
