Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2016 Oct 24;55(44):13854-13858. doi: 10.1002/anie.201607493. Epub 2016 Sep 29.

Abstract

A Cu-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective borylative coupling reaction of 1,3-dienes with imines was realized. Branched homoallylic amines are readily prepared in a syn-selective manner with high regio-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity. Moreover, these three-component coupling reactions feature good functional-group compatibility and easy access to the substrates and catalyst.

Keywords: 1,3-dienes; asymmetric catalysis; borylative coupling; copper; imines.
