Iridium-Catalyzed γ‑Selective Hydroborationof γ‑Substituted Allylic Amides

Reported here for the first time is the Ir-catalyzed γ-selective hydroboration of γ-substituted allylic amides under mild reaction conditions. A variety of functional groups could be compatible with reaction conditions, affording γ-branched amides in good yields with ≤97% γ-selectivity. We have also demonstrated that the obtained borylated products could be used in a series of C–O, C–F, C–Br, and C–C bond-forming reactions.
