Regio- and Enantioselective Synthesis of Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Homoallylic α-Tertiary NH2 -Amines by Reactions Facilitated by a Threonine-Based Boron-Containing Catalyst.


ABSTRACT: A method for catalytic regio- and enantioselective synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted and aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkenyl-, and alkynyl-substituted homoallylic α-tertiary NH2 -amines is introduced. Easy-to-synthesize and robust N-silyl ketimines are converted to NH-ketimines in situ, which then react with a Z-allyl boronate. Transformations are promoted by a readily accessible l-threonine-derived aminophenol-based boryl catalyst, affording the desired products in up to 91 % yield, >98:2 α:γ selectivity, >98:2 Z:E selectivity, and >99:1 enantiomeric ratio. A commercially available aminophenol may be used, and allyl boronates, which may contain an alkyl-, a chloro-, or a bromo-substituted Z-alkene, can either be purchased or prepared by catalytic stereoretentive cross-metathesis
