The traceless Petasis borono-Mannich reaction of enals, sulfonylhydrazines, and allylboronates, catalyzed by chiral biphenols, results in an asymmetric reductive transposition of the in situ generated allylic diazene. Acyclic 1,4-diene products bearing either alkyl- or aryl-substituted benzylic stereocenters are afforded in excellent yields and enantiomeric ratios of up to 99:1. The use of crotylboronates in the reaction results in concomitant formation of two stereocenters in either a 1,4-syn o ...[more]
