Abstract / Description of output

Chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric aldehyde prenylation has been established using an α,α-dimethyl allyl boronic ester. The transformation provides an expedient access to a wide array of aryl, heteroaryl, aryl-substituted alkenyl as well as primary and secondary aliphatic homoprenyl alcohols with excellent asymmetric induction. The utility of this asymmetric catalysis strategy has been demonstrated through a short and efficient total synthesis of the two natural products (‒)-rosiridol and (‒)-bifurcadiol.
