Se. Denmark et I. Rivera, ASYMMETRIC CARBOALKOXYALKYLIDENATION WITH A CHIRAL HORNER-WADSWORTH-EMMONS REAGENT, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(23), 1994, pp. 6887-6889
The asymmetric carboalkoxyalkylidenation of 4-substituted cyclohexanon
es was effected by the use of chirally modified Horner-Wadsworth-Emmon
s (HWE) reagents in good yields (78-82%) as well as high levels of ena
ntioselectivity (78-86% ee).
