An Iron/Amine-Catalyzed Cascade Process for the Enantioselective Functionalization of Allylic Alcohols

International audienceAn enantioselective transformation of allylic alcohols into β-chiral saturated alcohols has been developed by combining two distinct metal- and organocatalyzed catalytic cycles. This waste-free triple cascade process merges an iron-catalyzed borrowing-hydrogen step with an aminocatalyzed nucleophilic additio
