Ct. Qian et Ts. Huang, ENANTIOSELECTIVE ALLYLATION OF ALDEHYDES WITH CHIRAL ALLYL ORGANOLANTHANIDE REAGENTS, Chinese journal of chemistry, 16(3), 1998, pp. 272-276
The first example of enantioselective allylation of aldehydes with chi
ral allyl organolanthanide reagents has been achieved in high chemical
yield and moderate optical purity (up to 54% e.e.).
