Abstract

Enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of 1,1-dimethylallene in the presence of aldehydes and 2-propanol or primary alcohols without 2-propanol employing a cyclometalated iridium C,O-benzoate derived from allyl acetate, m-nitrobenzoic acid, and (S)-SEGPHOS delivers reverse-prenylation products in very good yields and enantioselectivities.
