Abstract
A new type of N-nucleophile has been developed in Pd-catalyzed
asymmetric allylic amination with monosubstituted allyl substrates,
affording corresponding branched allyl amines in high regio- and
enantioselectivities. Either OMe or Boc group in products can be
removed easily to provide primary amine derivatives with the optical
purity unchanged.
Key words
palladium - allylic amination - catalysis - regioselectivity - enantioselectivity

General Procedure
for the Allylic Amination
To a flame-dried Schlenk
tube were added [Pd(C3 H5 )Cl]2 (1.8
mg, 0.005 mmol), ligand (R ,R )-L1 (6.4 mg,
0.010 mmol), and CH2 Cl2 (2.0 mL) under Ar
at r.t. The solution was allowed to stir for 5 min before ester 1 (0.2 mmol), MeONHBoc (44 mg, 0.3 mmol),
and K3 PO4 (63 mg, 0.3 mmol) were added. The
reaction was allowed to stir at r.t. and monitored by TLC until
the disappearance of the ester 1 . The reaction
mixture was passed through a short plug of kieselgur eluted with
CH2 Cl2 . The solvent was removed under reduced
pressure. The crude residue [after ¹ H
NMR analysis to check the regioisomeric ratio (3 /4 )] was purified by flash chromatography
(FC) with EtOAc-PE as the eluent (generally, the two regioisomers
could be separated by FC) to afford the compound 3 .
