The palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) has proven to be a versatile method for the preparation of synthetically useful materials.[1] Vinyl epoxides have shown a broad utility in related dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations (DYKATs), wherein a racemic starting material is converted into an enantioenriched product.[2] Only recently has the cycloaddition of vinyl aziridines with isocyanates to afford chiral imidazolidinones been reported.[3] Although this methodology provides the valuable chiral vicinal diamine moiety [4] in high ee, its synthetic utility has been limited owing to the difficult differentiation of the resulting amines. In recent studies with imide nucleophiles, we discovered an atom-economical [5] DYKAT for the efficient preparation of useful orthogonally protected chiral vicinal diamines through use of imido carboxylates that undergo a facile in situ acyl migration. Application of the AAA enabled the formal synthesis of the potent PKC inhibitor balanol and its cis diastereomer.By analogy to the DYKAT reactions with vinyl epoxides,[6] we first examined the asymmetric addition of phthalimide to the parent vinyl aziridine 1 with the use of diphosphine ligand 3 [Eq.(1)]. The addition of catalytic acetic acid, which was beneficial in the previous cycloadditions with isocyanates,[3] gave an increase in ee (47 to 82% ee) with a concomitant drop in yield (99 to 55%). The use of catalytic triethylamine instead provided a balance in improving the ee while affording a practical yield. A reasonable rationalization for the high enantioselectivity is the Curtin–Hammett kinetic amination of one diastereomeric η3-allyl PdII complex from a pair which rapidly interconvert through a π–σ–π mechanism.
