Agm. Barrett et al., TANDEM ASYMMETRIC ALLYLBORATION-ALKENE METATHESIS - A NOVEL STRATEGY FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF TRANS-DISUBSTITUTED HOMOALLYLIC ALCOHOLS, Chemical communications, (19), 1996, pp. 2229-2230
Tandem use of Brown's asymmetric allylboration technology and crossed-
alkene metathesis provides exclusively trans-disubstituted homoallylic
alcohols in good yields.
