title: Asymmetric allylboration of cyclic imines and applications to alkaloid synthesis.
abstract: Treatment of cyclic imines with 3,3'-disubstituted binaphthol modified allylboronates provides the expected allylated products in good yields and with high stereoselectivities (91-99% ee). The products may be readily transformed into various alkaloids.
