K. Iseki et al., ASYMMETRIC ALLYLATION OF ALDEHYDES CATALYZED BY SUBSTOICHIOMETRIC AMOUNTS OF CHIRAL PHOSPHORAMIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(29), 1996, pp. 5149-5150
The asymmetric allylation and crotylation of aromatic aldehydes with a
llylic trichlorosilanes catalyzed by substoichiometric quantities of c
hiral phosphoramides were carried our with good enantiomeric excess (u
p to 88% ee). Phosphoramides 3 and 4, prepared from (S)-proline, gave
chiral homoallylic alcohols 6 and their enantiomers 7, respectively, w
ith similar levels of enantioselectivity. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier
