PALLADIUM-MEDIATED ENANTIOSELECTIVE FORMATION OF 2-METHYLTETRAL-1-ONEFROM THE CORRESPONDING ALLYL OR BENZYL ENOL CARBONATE IN THE PRESENCEOF ENANTIOPURE AMINOALCOHOLS
Sj. Aboulhoda et al., PALLADIUM-MEDIATED ENANTIOSELECTIVE FORMATION OF 2-METHYLTETRAL-1-ONEFROM THE CORRESPONDING ALLYL OR BENZYL ENOL CARBONATE IN THE PRESENCEOF ENANTIOPURE AMINOALCOHOLS, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(8), 1995, pp. 1865-1868
The palladium-induced cleavage at room temperature of (2-methyl-1-tetr
alenyl) benzyl carbonate under bubbling of hydrogen led to (R) 2-methy
ltetral-1-one with 90% chemical yield and 64% enantiomeric excess in t
he presence of catalytic amounts of (+) endo-2-hydroxy-endo-3-aminobor
nane.
