Chiral amines containing an allylgroup are very useful for subsequent synthetic manipulation in the synthesis of important biologically active compounds. We have investigated indium(0)-mediated diastereoselective allylation of chiral hydrazones derived from both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. In the selection of chiral auxiliary (Xc.) we have screened several oxazolidinones with p-tolyl hydrazones. We have extensively studied allylation on substrates prepared from valinol derived chiral auxiliary and different aldehydes. Excellent diastereoselectivity was obtained for the hydrazones derived from aromatic aldehydes and hydrazones derived from aliphatic aldehydes provided excellent diastereoselectivity in the presence of indium(III)triflate.The result of these studies and recent advances in asymmetric indium chemistry will be presented.
