Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed amide-directed enantioselective hydrocarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes with C-H nucleophiles has been developed using a chiral monodentate oxazoline (MOXin) ligand. Various indoles react at C3 position with aminoquinoline-coupled 3-alkenamides to give γ addition products in good to excellent yield and enantioselectivity. This study represents an important advance of the development of chiral monodentate oxazoline ligands, which have been underexplored for asymmetric catalysis.
