Abstract

An enantioselective synthesis of homoallylamides through reactions of stable and easily accessible (pinacolato)allylborons with aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkyl-, or alkenyl-substituted N-phosphinoylimines is promoted by 1-5 mol % of readily accessible NHC-Cu complexes, derived from C1-symmetric imidazolinium salts. Allyl additions deliver the desired products in very good yield and enantiomeric ratio.
