Highly enantioselective allylic amination reaction through aerobic oxidative organo–organo dual catalytic system†
Abstract
A variety of enantioenriched substituted imides were facilely synthesized through aerobic oxidation/allylic amination reactions of aldimines with MBH carbonates under N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/chiral tertiary amine dual catalysis. The strategy is attractive and valuable because of the convenient one-step procedure, environmental friendliness, high enantioselectivity and good functional-group tolerance.
