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.
