General conditions: 0.7 mmol BocNH2, 0.5 mmol tert-butyl cinnamyl carbonate, 0.02 mmol 1d, 0.25 mmol K3PO4, and 10 µL dodecane in 0.5 mL ether. Reactions were heated to 30 °C. Results are an average of two runs.
Determined by NMR analysis of the crude reaction mixture or by isolation.
Isolated yield of branched product.
Determined by chiral HPLC analysis, see Supporting Information for details.
DBU (0.1 mmol) was used in place of K3PO4.
