Abstract

We have developed a highly enantioselective Pd/chiral acid-catalyzed α-allylation of α-branched aldehydes with an allyl amine as the allylating species that creates all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers in high yields and enantioselectivities. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a chiral anionic ligand is applied for achieving asymmetric induction in a palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction.

Xiaohu Zhao, Delong Liu, Hui Guo, Yangang Liu, and Wanbin ZhangJournal of the American Chemical Society2011 133 (48), 19354-19357Hydrogen-bond-activated C–N bond cleavage of allylic amines was realized in Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation to form the C–C bond product. The method could be expanded to a series of allylic amines and carbonyl compounds with excellent results. It provides ...
