couples arylboronic acids to racemic allyl chlorides. Both enantiomers of a cyclic chloride are converted into a single enantiomer of product via a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation. This Rh-catalysed method uses readily available and inexpensive building blocks and is mild and broadly applicable. For electron-deficient, electron-rich or ortho-substituted boronic acids better results are obtained
Processes of forming Csp2-Csp3 bonds at the allylic carbon of a cyclic allylic compound starting material are disclosed, in which a racemic mixture of a cyclic allylic compound having a leaving group attached to the allylic carbon is reacted with a compound having a nucleophilic carbon atom in the presence of a Rh(l), Pd(ll) or Cu(l) pre-catalyst and a chiral ligand. The reaction products containing the newly-formed Csp2-Csp3 bond are generated in high stereoisomeric excess, and may therefore serve as important organic building blocks in the preparation of new agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
