Graphical Abstract

Branch out: A general protocol for iso-selective olefin aminocarbonylation has been developed. Key to success is the use of a specific 2-phosphino-substituted pyrrole ligand in the presence of PdX2. Bulk industrial and functionalized olefins react with various aliphatic amines, including amino acid derivatives, to give the corresponding branched amides in good yields and regioselectivities.

Abstract

A general and efficient protocol for iso-selective aminocarbonylation of olefins with aliphatic amines has been developed for the first time. Key to the success for this process is the use of a specific 2-phosphino-substituted pyrrole ligand in the presence of PdX2 (X=halide) as a pre-catalyst. Bulk industrial and functionalized olefins react with various aliphatic amines, including amino-acid derivatives, to give the corresponding branched amides generally in good yields (up to 99 %) and regioselectivities (b/l up to 99:1).
