Asymmetric Synthesis of the Both Enantiomers of Tertiary Aryl Homoallyl Alcohols and Diols by Diastereoselective Addition of Allyltrimethylsilane to Chiral α-Keto Imides
Both enantiomers of homoallyl-alcohols and -diols are obtained in high enantiomeric excesses (91–>98% e.e.) by titanium tetrachloride promoted diastereoselective addition of allyltrimethylsilane to chiral α-keto imides.
