Expanded scope for the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols using readily accessible second-generation catalysts.
A second generation of chiral (P,N)-iridium catalysts--readily accessible from inexpensive L-serine--displays expanded scope for the asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols.
