Abstract

A bidentate chiral phosphoramide based on a 2,2'-bispyrrolidine skeleton afforded good yield, efficient turnover, and high enantioselectivity in allylation reactions of various unsaturated aldehydes with substituted allylic trichlorosilanes. The reaction of γ-disubstituted allylic trichlorosilanes allowed the construction of stereogenic, quaternary centers.
