We have developed a palladium-catalyzed regioselective and enantiospecific ring-opening Suzuki–Miyaura arylative cross-coupling of N-tosyl-2-arylazetidines to give enantioenriched 3,3-diarylpropylamines. This reaction represents an example of transition-metal-catalyzed ring-opening cross-coupling using azetidines as a non-classical alkyl electrophile. Density functional theory rationalized the mechanism of the full catalytic cycle, which consists of the selectivity-determining ring opening of the azetidine, reaction with water, rate-determining transmetalation, and reductive elimination. Transition states of the selectivity-determining ring-opening step were systematically determined by the multi-component artificial force induced reaction (MC-AFIR) method to explain the regioselectivity of the reaction.

A general and convenient synthetic route to various chiral 2-substituted- and 2,4-disubstituted-N-tosylazetidines (ee >99%) is described in good overall yields starting from chiral α-amino acids using very simple chemistry.
