Abstract
Efficient enantioselective Cu-catalyzed alkylations of aromatic and aliphatic allylic phosphates bearing di- and trisubstituted olefins are promoted in the presence of a readily available chiral amino acid-based ligand. Tertiary and quaternary stereogenic carbon centers are delivered regioselectively in high ee.
