Regio‐ and Enantioselective Iridium‐Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation with In Situ Activated P,C‐Chelate Complexes

Abstract

Come together: Successful cooperation of iridium and copper yielded a new catalyst system for allylic alkylation. Branched alkylation products can be obtained rapidly and with high enantioselectivity from simple linear precursors (see scheme; cod=cyclooctadiene).
