Next, we examined the scope of aryl-substituted allylic electrophiles (Figure ). In comparison to relevant methods the scope of the current reaction is excellent, with a wide variety of nontrivial substitution patterns, such as 3,4-dichloro-substituted 28 and 29, and challenging orthosubstituted halides and sterically and electronically demanding groups tolerated. As an example of a highly challenging heteroaromatic substituent we examined an indole-derived electrophile which gave 37 in 7.3:1 rr with 42% yield, 95% ee. The method proved to tolerate a wide range of alkyl-substituted allylic phosphates which are incompatible with relevant asymmetric allylic arylations , without any modification of the reaction conditions. A methyl-substituted electrophile produced products 38 and 39 with >99% ee and excellent yields and regioselectivity. A variety of substituted alkyl chains featuring phenyls (40 and 41), ethers (42, 43) and thioethers (44, 45) were tolerated despite the potential of these functional groups to bind to transition-metals and interfere with catalysis. A chloro-containing electrophile provided 46 and 47 (both >80% and >93% ee) but in one case a small amount of linear byproduct was observed (47, 16:1 rr). Using an electrophile containing a cis-alkene, which could potentially react under these conditions, we obtained 48 in 95% yield and 98% ee, and 49 in 96% yield and 98% ee with no sign of olefin isomerization, carbometallation or chain walking.
