Cobalt-Catalyzed Regio- and Enantioselective Allylic Amination.
J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2019;
141: 11430-11434
Key words
allylic amination - enantioselectivity - cobalt catalysis
Significance
The authors report an enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed allylic amination of racemic
allylic carbonates that leads to highly branched products.
Comment
A broad range of aliphatic and aromatic amines are used, providing a variety of amines
in excellent yields and enantioselectivities.
