Recent Progress in Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Substitution Reactions Using Organoboron Nucleophiles

Abstract

Recent progress in copper-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reactions with organoboron nucleophiles is reviewed. Wide availability, high functional group compatibility, and mild reaction conditions are the main advantages over conventional highly reactive organometallic nucleophiles. The use of diboron and silylboron reagents for the synthesis of enantioenriched allylboronates and allylsilanes is also included.

1 Introduction

2 Chirality Transfer of Enantioenriched Allylic Substrates with Organoboron­ Nucleophiles

3 Enantioselective Allylic Substitution of Achiral Substrates with Organoboron Nucleophiles

4 Enantioselective Allylic Substitution of Achiral Substrates with Other Boron-Based Nucleophiles

5 Conclusions

Key words

copper catalyst - allylic substitution - asymmetric catalysis - organoboron - diboron - silylboronate
