Abstract / Description of output
We have developed Zn-catalyzed asymmetric allylation of hydrazono esters with allylboronates. The reactions proceeded smoothly in high yields and high stereoselectivities. Remarkably, formal alpha-addition occurred for alpha-substituted allylboronates exclusively, and excellent stereoselectivities were observed. This is the first example of catalytic regio- and stereoselective allylations with formal alpha-addition. In addition, the reaction proceeded in aqueous media, and the use of water is essential. Zn(OH)(2) might be a catalyst in this asymmetric allylation, and the catalytic activity of Zn(OH)(2) was confirmed. This is also the first case of chiral metal hydroxide-catalyzed asymmetric reactions.
