“…Allylic substrates bearing activated leaving groups, such as carboxylates (acetates), − carbonates, ,− phosphates, and halides, as well as allylic molecules having trichloroacetimidate, trimethylsilyl, carbamates, and ureas exhibit high reactivity in AAA reactions. Nonetheless, allylic alcohols, ,,− ethers, , amines, ,,− and C–H bonds were recently applied directly as simple alternative allylic sources; however, an AAA reaction with such stable allylic sources has been developed almost exclusively by using easy-to-handle precious-metal-based catalysts, such as palladium, rhodium, and iridium complexes. In this context, some of us recently reported the AAA reaction of β-ketoesters with allylic alcohols to construct quaternary chiral centers mediated by a nonprecious nickel complex bearing chiral diphosphine ligand .…”
