摘要
Chiral iridium complexes modified by SEGPHOS catalyze the 2-propanol-mediated reductive coupling of branched allylic acetates 1a-1o with formaldehyde to form primary homoallylic alcohols 2a-2o with excellent control of regio- and enantioselectivity. These processes, which rely on enantiotopic pi-facial discrimination of sigma-allyliridium intermediates, represent the first examples of enantioselective formaldehyde C-C coupling beyond aldol addition.
