Abstract

Abstract: The catalytic asymmetric allylboration of cyclic imines with γ, γ‐disubstituted allylboronic acids provides products with adjacent stereocenters in high yield and stereoselectivity. Various electrophiles, including 3, 4‐dihydroisoquinolines and indoles, were prenylated in a fully stereodivergent fashion by switching the E / Z geometry of the allylboronate and/or the enantiomer of the BINOL catalyst. 3‐Methylindole provided products with three adjacent stereocenters with high stereoselectivity in one synthetic operation.
