摘要

Copper‐catalyzed intermolecular asymmetric propargylic amination with 4‐hydroxypyridines has been realized for the first time. In the presence of Cu complex derived from Pybox ligand, the N‐propargylated 4‐pyridones were obtained under mild reaction conditions with up to 99 % yield and 95 % ee. The Pybox ligand bearing a 4‐F‐phenyl substituent plays a key role for the high enantioselectivity. The products can be easily transformed to the core structure of quinolizidine alkaloids.
