Iridium-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective allylic esterification of secondary allylic alcohols with carboxylic acids
We report herein an iridium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic esterification of racemic secondary allylic alcohols with carboxylic acids under mild conditions with broad functional group tolerance, exhibiting excellent regio- (b/l > 19 : 1) and enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee).
