Abstract
An asymmetric chemoselective allylation followed by an oxy-Cope rearrangement sequence is developed to efficiently synthesize chiral β-allylated ketoimines bearing quaternary stereocenters in excellent yields and diastereoselectivities. Besides acting as a nucleophile, allylboronic acid also plays the vital role of a Lewis acid promoter, eliminating the need for adding any external catalyst. Applicability of this method was demonstrated by the total syntheses of flustramine alkaloids.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
