Chiral Primary Amine/Palladium Dual Catalysis for Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation of β‐Ketocarbonyl Compounds with Allylic Alcohols

An efficient dual catalytic system composed of a chiral primary amine and a palladium complex was developed to promote the direct asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of β‐ketocarbonyl compounds. In particular, the synergistic dual catalytic system enabled the AAA reaction of challenging acyclic aliphatic ketones, such as β‐ketocarbonyl compounds and 1,3‐diketones.
