Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT
The stereoselective allylation of methyl ketones is described to give tertiary homoallylic ethers, which can easily be transformed into homoallylic alcohols by a Birch reduction. Reaction of methyl ketones 4 with allylsilane 5 in the presence of the chiral TMS ether 3A and a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid led to homoallylic ethers 6 in high yield with a selectivity of 9:1 to >20:1. The TMS ether 3A was prepared from inexpensive mandelic acid, which is commercially available in both enantiomeric forms, in four steps. |
