RT Journal Article T1 Kinetic Resolution of Allyltriflamides through a Pd-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization with Allenes: Asymmetric Assembly of Tetrahydropyridines A1 González González, José Manuel A1 Cendón Mariño, Borja A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis A1 Gulías Costa, Moisés AB Enantioenriched, six-membered azacycles are essential structural motifs in many products of pharmaceutical or agrochemical interest. Here we report a simple and practical method for enantioselective assembly of tetrahydropyridines, which is paired to a kinetic resolution of α-branched allyltriflamides. The reaction consists of a formal (4+2) cycloaddition between the allylamine derivatives and allenes and is initiated by a palladium(II)-catalyzed C–H activation process. Both the chiral allylamide precursors and the tetrahydropyridine adducts were successfully obtained in high yields, with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and selectivity values of up to 127 PB American Chemical Society SN 0002-7863 YR 2021 FD 2021 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/24850 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/24850 LA eng NO J.
