ChemInform Abstract: Dual Amine‐ and Broensted Acid‐Catalyzed α‐Allylic Alkylation of Aldehydes.

Abstract

Dual Amine-and Broensted Acid-Catalyzed α-Allylic Alkylation of Aldehydes. -A simple and palladium-free, catalytic variant of title reaction is conducted under air without the need for dried solvents; water is the only side product of the reaction. The use of enantiomerically pure amine catalysts induces only poor enantioselectivities (up to 7% e.e.). -(XU*, L.-W.; GAO, G.; GU, F.-L.; SHENG, H.; LI, L.; LAI, G.-Q.; JIANG, J.-X.; Adv.
