Novel 3-amino-1,5-dienes were prepared with high diastereoselectivity by unprecedented 1,2-addition of allyl Grignard to α,β-unsaturated imines containing β-aminoalcohol auxiliaries. Asymmetric anionic amino-Cope rearrangement of the diastereoisomerically pure 3-amino-1,5-diene substrates proceeded to yield the target 3-substituted aldehyde in good yield and with high levels of asymmetric induction (up to 94% e.e.).
