Homoallylic alcohol substrate, asymmetric formation

An asymmetric version of aminoallylation has been developed via a transfer aminoallylation protocol. This methodology involves the initial aminoallylation of camphorquinone 207 with 5-allylpinacol boronate 177 in alcoholic ammonia, furnishing the a-aminoketone 208 stereoselectively, which upon treatment with an aldehyde 209 and achiral allyl boronate 177 leads to the in situ formation of chiral imine 210 followed by allylation to yield the homoallylic amines 212 (Scheme 35) <2006JA11038>. Excellent levels of enantio- and diastereo control were observed for the allylation of a wide array of aldehyde substrates.
