Enantioselective Allylation of Aldehydes Using Tartrate Ester Modified Allylsilanes

Authors:

Abstract
Tartrate-ester modified allylsilanes, 2-allyl-1,3,2-dioxasilolane-4,5-dicarboxylic esters, (1), were found to serve as useful reagents for regiospecific and stereoselecive allylation of aldehydes. Reactions of 1 with achiral aldehydes without any catalyst gave the corresponding homoallyl alcohols in good yields (70-90%) with the ee values up to 80%.
