Abstract

A palladium/(R)-Binap catalyst for asymmetric ring opening reaction of azabenzonorbornadienes with amines was developed that afforded the corresponding substituted dihydronaphthalenes in good yields (up to 97%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first palladium-catalyzed asymmetric ring opening reaction of azabenzonorbornadienes with heteronucleophiles.
