| Summary: | The Petasis reaction, also called the Petasis Borono–Mannich reaction, is a multicomponent reaction that couples a carbonyl derivative, an amine and boronic acids to yield substituted amines. The reaction proceeds efficiently in the presence or absence of a specific catalyst and solvent. By employing this reaction, a diverse range of chiral derivatives can easily be obtained, including α-amino acids. A broad substrate scope, high yields, distinct functional group tolerance and the availability of diverse catalytic systems constitute key features of this reaction. In this review article, attention has been drawn toward the recently reported methodologies for executing the Petasis reaction to produce structurally simple to complex aryl/allyl amino scaffolds.
