A. Bohme et Hj. Gais, Palladium(0) catalyzed enantioselective rearrangement of O-allylic thiocarbamates to S-allylic thiocarbamates: asymmetric synthesis of allylic thiols, TETRAHEDR-A, 10(13), 1999, pp. 2511-2514
The Pd(0) catalyzed rearrangement of the O-allylic thiocarbamates rac-2a, r
ac-2b and rac-4 in the presence of the chiral bisphosphane 5 proceeded quan
titatively and gave the S-allylic thiocarbamates 6a, 6b and 7, respectively
, with 91, 92 and 97% ee, respectively, in high yields. Saponification of t
he S-allylic thiocarbamate 7 furnished the allylic thiol 9 with 97% ee. (C)
