Abstract

An application of various oximes as nucleophiles in the asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) reaction of aza/oxabicyclic alkenes resulting in cis-ARO products has been developed. The reaction was co-catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and Zn(OTf)2 with (R)-DIFLUORPHOS as the chiral ligand. This methodology exhibits broad substrate scope, functional group tolerance with high enantioselectivity. A synthetic application of this method has been demonstrated.
