An Enantioselective Cp x Rh(III)‐Catalyzed C−H Functionalization/Ring‐Opening Route to Chiral Cyclopentenylamines
A chiral CpxRhIII catalyst system in situ generated from a CpxRhI(cod) precatalyst and bis(o‐toluoyl) peroxide as activating oxidant was developed for a C−H activation/ring‐opening sequence between aryl ketoxime ethers and 2,3‐diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐5‐enes. This transformation provides access to densely functionalized chiral cyclopentenylamines in excellent yields and enantioselectivities of up to 97:3 er. The reported method is also well suitable for asymmetric alkenyl C−H functionalizations of α,β‐unsaturated oxime ethers, furnishing skipped dienes with high levels of enantiocontrol.
