The synthesis of α-amino acids is one of the most important topics in modern medicinal chemistry.[1] Among the variety of synthetic methods so far reported, asymmetric carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions of iminoesters provide an efficient route to optically active α-amino acids. While catalytic asymmetric Mannich-type reactions of N-protected iminoesters have already been reported by several groups,[2] few examples of catalytic asymmetric allylations of iminoesters are known despite their utility in organic synthesis.[3] Lectka and co-workers reported that N, O-acetals react with βphenylallyltrimethylsilane in the presence of a CuI/binap (binap= 2, 2’-bis (diphenylphosphino)-1, 1’-binaphthyl) complex,[3a] and they also disclosed reactions of N-tosyl iminoesters with β-arylallyltrimethylsilanes as well as nonsubstituted allyltrimethylsilane under similar conditions.[3d] However, only β-arylallylsilane gave the desired product with high enantiomeric purity while other allyltrialkylsilanes gave moderate selectivities (up to 72% ee). Jørgensen and coworkers reported highly enantioselective reactions of N-tosyl iminoesters with allyltributyltin.[3b, c] They showed that the use of allylsilanes resulted in low yields with low selectivity. Additionally, from a viewpoint of synthetic utility, a sulfonyl group at the nitrogen center is sometimes problematic for deprotection compared to amide or alkoxycarbonyl groups. Hence, the development of environmentally friendlier, efficient, and practical methods is strongly desired. Herein, we report a CuII-catalyzed, highly enantioselective allylation of N-acyl and N-alkoxycarbonyl iminoesters using environmentally benign allylsilanes as nucleophiles. The first example of catalytic enantioselective allylations of iminophosphonates for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonic acids and their phosphonate esters is also described.Allylation reactions of N-acyliminoester 1 with several allylating reagents were examined in the presence of a copper complex (10 mol%) prepared from Cu (OTf) 2 and diamine 3, which was an efficient catalyst for Mannich-type reactions of iminoesters with silicon enolates.[2f, g] Relatively reactive allyltributylstannane (2a) was found to give the desired product, albeit in low yield with low selectivity (Scheme 1, Eq.(1)). On the other hand, when allylsilane 2b, which bears a sulfur substituent at the β-position to the silicon atom, was employed [4] the allylated product was obtained in high yield with high selectivity [Scheme 1, Eq.(2)].
