Enantioselective allylic amination of MBH carbonates catalyzed by novel chiral 4-dialkylaminopyridine catalysts†‡
Abstract
We have investigated the asymmetric allylic amination of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates with nitrogen nucleophiles in the presence of newly designed chiral DMAP catalysts. A series of α-methylene β-amino esters were obtained with good yield and selectivities.
