ChemInform Abstract: Iridium‐Catalyzed Kinetic Asymmetric Transformations of Racemic Allylic Benzoates.

Abstract The title reactions occur with a variety of aliphatic, aryl, and heteroaryl allylic benzoates to form the corresponding allylic substitution products in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivity with a scope that encompasses a range of anionic carbon and heteroatom nucleophiles.
