Abstract

We herein report an iridium-catalyzed enantioselective α-C(sp3)-H borylation of a wide range of azacycles. The combination of an iridium precursor and a chiral bidentate boryl ligand has been shown to effectively differentiate enantiotropic methylene C-H bonds from a single carbon center, affording a variety of synthetically useful azacycles from readily available starting materials with good to excellent enantioselectivities.
