Abstract

Abstract: The development of new and practical 3‐pentoxythiocarbonyl auxiliaries for Ir I ‐catalyzed C−H alkylation of azacycles is described. This method allows for the α‐C−H alkylation of a variety of substituted pyrrolidines, piperidines, and tetrahydroisoquinolines through alkylation with alkenes. While the practicality of these simple carbamate‐type auxiliaries is underscored by the ease of installation and removal, the method's utility is demonstrated in its ability to functionalize biologically relevantl ‐proline andl ‐ trans ‐hydroxyproline, delivering unique 2, 5‐dialkylated amino acid analogues that are not accessible by other C−H functionalization methods.
