A Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation of secondary nitroalkanes, using a catalytic amount of external base, was developed. Simple allyl carbonate and monosubstituted allyl carbonates were used as electrophiles, and bulky secondary nitroalkanes were used as nucleophiles. This is the first catalytic allylic alkylation of bulky secondary nitroalkanes, such as 2-nitroheptane. The use of the strong base DBU in the aprotic polar solvent DMSO is a key in realizing the high reactivity. In an attempt to develop an asymmetric reaction, 2-aryloxazoline ligand PHOX Ll gave excellent results for inducing chirality at the pi-allyl moiety. As for asymmetric induction at the a-position of the NO2 functionality, the free OH-group containing 2-aryloxazoline ligand L4 showed moderate selectivity. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
