A Bis(Triazolecarboxamido) Ligand for Enantio- and Regioselective Molybdenum-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation Reactions

A modular, enantiomerically pure bis(1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxamide) has been assembled from N,N′-[(1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diyl]dipropiolamide through a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction and evaluated as a ligand in the molybdenum-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (MoAAA) reaction, very high regio- and enantioselectivities being recorded.
