Fig. 1: Importance of the α-tertiary amine (ATA) containing molecules and the catalytic allylboration approach toward ATA.

a ATA moiety incorporated pharmaceuticals. b Catalytic approaches of ATAs and allylboration toward homoallylic amine. c Challenges in the current catalytic allylboration. d Hydrophobic amplification under aquacatalytic system. e Multi-component organocatalytic allylation (this work). Ac = acetyl; Bn = benzyl; t-Bu = tert-butyl; Bz = benzoyl; cat. = catalyst; HMDS = bis(trimethylsilyl)amide; Me = methyl; Ph = phenyl.
