We review here the methods by which a silyl group, incorporated into an organic structure,
has been used in organic synthesis to control stereochemistry, or has been an integral but …

Chiral allylmetal reagents are becoming increas-ingly important in synthetic organic
chemistry as reagents for acyclic stereocontrol and stereoselective annulation processes. In …

Allyltriisopropylsilane is a useful reagent for the stereoselective construction of various ring
systems by Lewis acid promoted formal cycloaddition reactions. The reaction of …

The first catalytic asymmetric carboannulation with allylsilanes is presented. The
enantioselective [3+ 2] annulation is catalyzed using a scandium (III)/indapybox complex …

A highly convergent asymmetric synthesis of the protein phosphatase inhibitor motuporin 1a
is described. Synthesis and coupling of the individual peptide fragments [34+ 35→ 51] …

Abstract A total synthesis of (−)‐strychnine in 15 steps from 1, 3‐cyclohexanedione in 0.15%
overall yield is described. The sequence followed in the assembling of rings is: E→ AE [2‐(2 …

The allylsilanes,(R)-E-and (R)-Z-4-trimethylsilylpent-2-ene 16, were prepared in essentially
an enantiomerically and geometrically pure state (er> 99.95: 0.05, E: Z and Z: E> 99.95 …

Cyclopentanoids are omnipresent in natural products and pharmaceutically relevant
compounds. Among them, cyclopenta‐fused arenes and heteroarenes possess impressive …

The development of a triflimide-catalyzed annulation of benzylic alcohols with allylsilanes for
the synthesis of indane or tetralin structures is reported. In this fragment coupling reaction …

Anhydrous FeCl3 in the presence of 2, 6-lutidine promotes the substrate-controlled
enantioselective [4+ 2]-cycloaddition and crotylation reaction between an enantioenriched …
