Enantioselective synthesis of (+)(R)- and (−)(S)-nicotine based on Ir-catalysed allylic amination

Abstract

The synthesis of nicotine with enantiomeric excess of >99% ee was accomplished by asymmetric Ir-catalysed allylic amination followed by ring closing metathesis and racemisation-free double bond reduction.
