Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Allyl-Allyl Coupling between Allylic Boronates and Phosphates with a Phenol/N-Heterocyclic Carbene Chiral Ligand.

Copper-catalyzed enantioselective allyl-allyl coupling between allylboronates and either Z-acyclic or cyclic allylic phosphates using a new chiral N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, bearing a phenolic hydroxy, is reported. This reaction occurs with exceptional SN 2'-type regioselectivities and high enantioselectivities to deliver chiral 1,5-diene derivatives with a tertiary stereogenic center at the allylic/homoallylic position.
