The allylic alkylation reaction represents a powerful method for carbon-carbon bond formation. 1 However, despite the wide range of substrates and organometallic complexes that have been employed, a general procedure for the retention of absolute configuration has not been forthcoming. 2, 3 We recently demonstrated that Wilkinson’s catalyst,[Rh (PPh3) 3Cl], may be modified in situ to furnish a catalytically active species that facilitates the allylic alkylation of a series of racemic acyclic allylic carbonates in high yield and with excellent selectivity, favoring the more substituted product. 4 In this communication, we describe the first example of the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of an enantiomerically enriched acyclic allylic carbonate 1, with essentially complete retention of absolute configuration (eq 1).
