The use of oxabicyclic templates to introduce trans-1,2-bifunctional groups to the carbocyclic molecule skeleton is an effective strategy for the synthesis of complex molecules.Pioneering work in this field was first described by Lautens and co-workers who had previously reported rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening(ARO) reaction of oxabicyclic alkenes to produce 1,2-dihydronaphthlenol products in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities(>90%ee).Recently,our group have developed iridium-catalyzed ring opening reactions of azabicyclic alkenes and oxabenzonorbornadienes with amine nucleophiles,such as N-phenylpiperazine,N-methylaniline,amines and so on.These kinds of amine nucleophiles have a big steric hindrance,so we wanted to expand the scope of the reaction to include sterically small amines because the resulting compounds were highly desirable for ongoing medicinal chemistry studies.
