C. Schultz-fademrecht et al., Synthesis of enantiomerically enriched allenes by (-)-sparteine-mediated lithiation of alkynyl carbamates, ORG LETT, 3(8), 2001, pp. 1221-1224
The alpha -deprotonation of alkynyl carbamates 3 with the chiral base (-)-s
parteine (4)/n-butyllithium, transmetalation with CITi((OPr)-Pr-/)B-3 and s
ubsequent substitution with an aldehyde results in the formation of enantio
enriched 4-hydroxyallenyl carbamates 11. Stereoselection is determined by d
ynamic resolution of the lithium/(-)-sparteine complexes by selective cryst
allization.
