Ab. Charette et al., THE TETRAHYDROPYRANYL GROUP AS A CHIRAL AUXILIARY FOR THE NUCLEOPHILIC-ADDITION TO ALPHA-ALKOXY KETONES, Tetrahedron letters, 36(47), 1995, pp. 8557-8560
The protected 2-hydroxytetrahydropyranyl group is an efficient chiral
auxiliary for the stereoselective nucleophilic addition of Grignard re
agents to alpha-alkoxy ketones. We also report that allylSnBu(3)MgBr(2
) . OEt(2) is a very efficient system for the chelation controlled ste
reoselective addition of the allyl group to alpha-alkoxy ketones.
