Asymmetric allylic substitution is one of the most powerful synthetic transformations with numerous applications in the total synthesis of biologically active compounds and natural products.[1] The use of metal complexes such as Pd,[2] Mo [3], or Ir [4] in combination with mainly allylic carbonates or acetates represents an excellent methodology for the use of stabilized nucleophiles in this transformation. On the other hand, Cu-catalyzed asymmetric ...
