Popis: Regio- and stereoselective distal allylic/benzylic C–H functionalization of allyl and benzyl silyl ethers was achieved using rhodium(II) carbenes derived from N-sulfonyltriazoles and aryldiazoacetates as carbene precursors. The bulky rhodium carbenes led to highly site-selective functionalization of less activated allylic and benzylic C–H bonds even in the presence of electronically preferred C–H bonds located α to oxygen. The dirhodium catalyst Rh(2)(S–NTTL)(4) is the most effective chiral catalyst for triazole-derived carbene transformations, whereas Rh(2)(S–TPPTTL)(4) works best for carbenes derived from aryldiazoacetates. The reactions afford a variety of δ-functionalized allyl silyl ethers with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The utility of the present method was demonstrated by its application to the synthesis of a 3,4-disubstituted L-proline scaffold.
