title: Catalytic four-component assembly based on allenylboronate platform: new access to privileged allylic amine structures.
abstract: We developed a novel palladium-catalyzed four-component assembly based on allenylboronate platform, by which privileged allylic amine structures can be constructed in a regioselective, stereoselective, and diversity-oriented manner. The boryl group acts not only as a useful group that can be transformed to various functional groups afterward but also as a stereochemical controller in the generation of key (pi-allyl)palladium intermediates. A short synthesis of rolipram (selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor) is also demonstrated.
