Lj. Brzezinski et al., AN UNEXPECTED REVERSAL OF STEREOCHEMISTRY IN A MODIFICATION OF THE RYCHNOVSKY CYANOHYDRIN ALKYLATION, Tetrahedron letters, 35(41), 1994, pp. 7601-7604
Alkylation of cyanohydrin 1,3-acetonides with unsaturated substitution
at the 2-position is described. The stereochemistry of the products o
btained from this reaction was opposite to that anticipated.
