Abstract

Abstract: A phosphite‐mediated [2, 3]‐aza‐Wittig rearrangement has been developed for the regio‐ and enantioselective allylic alkylation of six‐membered heteroaromatic compounds (azaarenes). The nucleophilic phosphite adducts of N‐allyl salts undergo a stereoselective base‐mediated aza‐Wittig rearrangement and dissociation of the chiral phosphite for overall C−H functionalization of azaarenes. This method provides efficient access to tertiary and quaternary chiral centers in isoquinoline, quinoline, and pyridine systems, tolerating a broad variety of substituents on both the allyl part and azaarenes. Catalysis with chiral phosphites is also demonstrated with synthetically useful yields and enantioselectivities. Abstract : Angetrieben durch Rearomatisierung : Das Addukt eines nukleophilen chiralen Phosphits mit einem Azaaren‐ N ‐allyl‐Salz erfährt eine basenvermittelte Aza‐Wittig‐Umlagerung. Diese Methode generiert effizient tertiäre und quartäre Stereozentren in Isochinolin‐, Chinolin‐ und Pyridinsystemen zusammen mit einer Alkengruppe zur weiteren Funktionalisierung.
