Significance
Several π-allyliridium C,O-benzoates are known to act as catalysts for nucleophilic carbonyl allylation. In contrast, the authors report that a π-allyliridium C,O-benzoate modified by SEGPHOS catalyzes the chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective electrophilic aminations of branched allylic acetates bearing linear alkyl groups.
#
Comment
The π-allyliridium C,O-benzoate is commercially available and stable to air, water, and silica-gel chromatography. The authors demonstrated that both nucleophilic and electrophilic allylations proceed with the same iridium catalyst under similar conditions.
