Md. Evans et Pt. Kaye, Determinants of diastereoselectivity in alpha-benzylation reactions of carboxylic esters of bornanol derivatives, SYN COMMUN, 31(6), 2001, pp. 805-815
The influence of the steric bulk and chelation potential of the "blocking g
roup" on the unexpectedly low diastereoselectivity observed during the a-be
nzylation of carboxylic ester enolates of 3,3-(2,3-butanedioxy)-2-exo-borna
nol is examined.
