Chain walking of allylrhodium species towards esters during rhodium-catalyzed nucleophilic allylations of imines

Allylrhodium species derived from δ-trifluoroboryl β,γ-unsaturated esters undergo chain walking towards the ester moiety.The resulting allylrhodium species react with imines to give products containing two new stereocenters and a Z-alkene. By using a chiral diene ligand, products can be obtained wit...
