Substituent effects on the amination of racemic allyl carbonates using commercially available chiral rhodium catalysts
摘要:
In the presence of commercially available chiral rhodium catalysts, a competitive benzylamination of racemic allyl carbonates, substituted with p-X-Ph groups, shows that the reaction proceeds faster with substituents (X) that are more electron-withdrawing. Mechanistic implications of these results are discussed. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
