Significance

Transition-metal-catalyzed allylation with oxygen-based nucleophiles are not well developed due to their low nucleophilicity and poor regioselectivity. Hydroxylamines were shown to give better yields and regioselectivity in both Pd- and Ir-catalyzed O-allylic substitution reactions due to their higher nucleophilicity. In the case of Ir-catalyzed reactions, good enantiomeric excess was obtained using a chiral Ph-pybox ligand.
