Abstract:Iridium(phosphoramidite) complexes catalyze an enantio- and diastereoselective three-component coupling reaction of alkenyl boronic esters, organolithium reagents and secondary allylic aryl carbonates. The reaction proceeds through an allylation-induced 1,2-metalate shift of the alkenyl boronate forming non-adjacent stereocenters. Mechanistic investiga-tions outline the overall catalytic cycle and reveal trends in reactivity and selectivity. Analysis of relative stereochemistry in a variety of 1,1-disubtituted… Show more
