Abstract

A nickel-mediated asymmetric allylic alkylation reaction between imidazole-modified ketones and nitroallylic acetates is presented. This reaction is catalyzed by a simple chiral diamine-nickel catalyst under mild conditions and leads to a series of novel enantioenriched α-allylic adducts in moderate to good yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Furthermore, transformation of the allylic adducts could smoothly lead to chiral γ-nitro-esters containing three continuous stereocenters in good yields.
