A broadly applicable methodology for the regio- and enantioselective construction of branched allylic carbon-heteroatom bonds from racemic, secondary allylic trichloroacetimidates has been developed. The branched allylic substrates undergo dynamic kinetic asymmetric substitution reactions with a number of unactivated anilines and carboxylic acids as well as unactivated aromatic thiols in the presence of a chiral bicyclo[3.3.0]octadiene-ligated iridium catalyst. The allylic C?O, C?N, and C?S bond containing products are obtained in synthetically useful yield and selectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the iridium-catalyzed enantioselective substitution reactions of heteroatom nucleophiles with allylic trichloroacetimidate substrates through an outer-sphere nucleophilic addition mechanism. In addition, the chiral diene-ligated iridium catalyst is effective at promoting asymmetric aminations of acyclic secondary anilines. Importantly, this catalytic iridium methodology enables the use of alkyl substituted allylic electrophiles. (Figure presented.).

The regioselective opening with benzoic acid of 2,3-epoxy alcohols obtained from the asymmetric epoxidation of 2,3-allylic alcohols, and deoxygenation of the resulting diol benzoates provides an effective, general and simple method to convert chiral 2,3-epoxy alcohols, into vinyl carbinols without the loss of any optical purity.
