J Am Chem Soc. 2019 Jul 24;141(29):11430-11434. doi: 10.1021/jacs.9b06035. Epub 2019 Jul 10.

Abstract

The first earth-abundant cobalt-catalyzed highly branched- and enantioselective allylic amination of racemic branched allylic carbonates bearing alkyl groups with both aromatic and aliphatic amines has been developed. The process allows rapid access of allylic amines in high yields with exclusively branched selectivity and excellent enantioselectivities (normally 99% ee) under mild reaction conditions.
