Ag. Myers et al., ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF 1,3-DIALKYL-SUBSTITUTED CARBON CHAINS OF ANY STEREOCHEMICAL CONFIGURATION BY AN ITERABLE PROCESS, Synlett, (5), 1997, pp. 457
A highly practical, iterable method for the preparation of 1,3,5,n(odd
)-polyalkyl-substituted carbon chains based upon the asymmetric alkyla
tion of pseudoephedrine amide enolates is described.
