The reaction of silicon substituted vinyloxiranes in the presence of c
atalytic amount of palladium (0) catalyst affords the title compounds.
This new reaction proceeds smoothly, under very mild conditions and w
ith complete chirality transfer. One-pot addition of selected organome
tallic nucleophiles to these aldehydes at very low temperature led to
a highly selective preparation of the corresponding alcohols in very g
ood yields. Influence of substituents on the silicon atom and of the l
igands of palladium have been studied. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Sci
