Stereoselective Pd-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylation: Assembly of Highly Functionalized Allylic Amines Bearing a Quaternary Center.

Here, we report a practical and reliable methodology to direct construction of tri- and tetrasubstituted olefins bearing an allylic amine, with the concomitant construction of the sterically congested quaternary stereocenter through stereoselective palladium-catalyzed cascade decarboxylation of vinyloxazolidinones.
