Abstract

Carreira's iridium-(P, olefin) phosphoramidite-based catalytic system enables an asymmetric allyl-allylboronate cross-coupling with high enantioselectivity. This transformation tolerates a large variety of racemic branched allylic alcohols and allylboronate substrates. The utility of the coupling is demonstrated in a concise catalytic asymmetric synthesis of (-)-preclamol.
