I. Marek et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVE CARBOMETALATION OF GAMMA-HETEROSUBSTITUTED VINYL METALS, Bulletin de la Societe chimique de France, 131(8), 1994, pp. 910-918
The allylzincation of various gamma-heterosubstituted vinyl metals pro
ceeds diastereoselectively. This represents a new synthetic approach t
o constructing two or three adjacent stereogenic centers in acyclic sy
stems.
