<i>O</i>- and <i>N</i>-Selective Electrophilic Activation of Allylic Alcohols and Amines in Pd-Catalyzed Direct Alkylation

説明

<p>Catalytic control of chemoselectivity is crucial in the synthesis of highly functionalized compounds. Although there are reports of efficient chemoselective reactions of alcohols and amines as nucleophiles, there are no reports of the chemoselective activation of alcohols and amines as electrophiles. In this study, highly O- and N-selective electrophilic activation of allylic alcohols and amines was achieved in Pd-catalyzed direct allylic alkylation. Allylamines were inherently more reactive than allylic alcohols (N-selectivity). On the other hand, the addition of catalytic amounts of 9-phenanthreneboronic acid preferentially activated allylic alcohols over allylamines (O-selectivity). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the N-selectivity is due to the selective activation of allylic amines with ammonium cations, and boronate formation accelerates the activation of allylic alcohols.</p>
