enolates derived from α, β‐unsaturated ketones. Asymmetric allylic substitution of a variety
of allylic carbonates with silyl enolates gave allylated products in 62–94% yield with 90–
98% ee and> 20: 1 branched‐to‐linear selectivity. The synthetic utility of this method was
illustrated by the short synthesis of an anticancer agent, TEI‐9826.
