M. Suginome et al., Asymmetric synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted oxepanes via acetalization-cyclization of an enantioenriched functionalized allylsilane with aldehydes, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 1999, pp. 2537-2538
According to the protocol for the acetalization-intramolecular allylsilane
cyclization, a new enantioenriched allylsilane, (R)-(E)-7-(dimethylphenylsi
lyl)undec-5-en-1-ol, in the presence of a variety of aldehydes provided ena
ntioenriched trans-2,3-disubstituted oxepanes stereoselectively.
