With the optimal conditions established, we first reacted a representative set of allylic carbonates
2 with
N-tosyl–
tert-butylglycine
1a to explore the generality of this reaction. It is noteworthy that
O-allylic alkylation of
tert–butylglycine was executed under the reaction conditions presented in entry 15 (Conditions B) or 19 (Conditions A) of
Table 1. As summarized in
Scheme 2, this transformation demonstrated a broad scope with respect to the allylic carbonate reaction partner under both reaction conditions and the corresponding
O-allylated products
3aa-3at were obtained with excellent chemoselectivity of up to 94%. The molecular structure of
3aa was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis (CCDC: 2095785). An array of cinnamyl carbonates
2b-2k bearing either an electron-donating (
e.g., MeO, Me, OCF
3) or an electron-withdrawing (
e.g., Cl, Br, CF
3) group at the phenyl ring were all suitable for the reaction, and afforded the desired allylic esters
3ab-3ak in 58%−93% yields. Notably, the
m-nitro-substituted carbonate was also tolerated and furnished the corresponding product
3al in 75% yield. The presence of
para (
3ab, 3af, 3ag, and
3ak),
meta (
3ac, 3ae, 3ah, 3aj, and
3al), or
ortho (
3ad and
3ai) substitutions on the aryl group proved to be feasible. Furthermore, the substrates
2m-2o with 3, 4-di-MeO groups or a bulky fused aryl ring on the phenyl also worked well in this reaction and gave the desired allylic esters
3am-3ao in 65%−74% yields. Importantly, the reactions of 2-thienyl-, 2-furyl-substituted substrates
2p and
2q all proceeded smoothly to provide the products
3ap-3aq in 66% and 75% yields, respectively. Meanwhile, we were pleased to find that our method can also be applied to alkyl carbonates (
3ar and
3as, 68% and 55%). Remarkably, 1,3-disubstituted allyl carbonate
2t reacted smoothly toward the corresponding
O-allylic product
3at in 58% yield. It is interesting to note that in most cases these two conditions could be complemented each other toward the
O-allylic substitution of
tert–butylglycine. Subsequently, we focused on the simultaneous construction of C—O and C—N bonds under optimal conditions of
N,
O-diallylic substitutions (
Table 1, entry 12, Conditions C). The allylation reactions of the carbonates with alkoxy, halogen, trifluoromethyl, and 1,3-benzodioxole groups were successful, producing densely functionalized
N,
O-diallylated products
4aa-4ao in 61%–90% yields. What is more, heterocyclic aromatic substrates could also react smoothly with
tert–butylglycine
1a to give the expected products
4ap and
4aq in 64% and 47% yields, respectively. In addition, the reaction using 3-alkyl-allyl carbonate provided
4as in moderate yield.
