reactions of unstabilized silyl dienolates derived from dioxinones. Asymmetric allylic substitution of a variety of allylic trichloroethyl carbonates with these silyl dienolates gave γ‐ allylated products selectively in 60–84% yield and 90–98% ee.
Abstract
Reported herein is the iridium‐catalyzed regio‐ and enantioselective allylic substitution reactions of unstabilized silyl dienolates derived from dioxinones. Asymmetric allylic substitution of a variety of allylic trichloroethyl carbonates with these silyl dienolates gave γ‐allylated products selectively in 60–84 % yield and 90–98 % ee.
