Zinc-Mediated Asymmetric Allylation of Chiral N-tert-Butanesulfinyl Aldimines with 3-Bromomethyl-5H-furan-2-one

Abstract

The zinc-mediated asymmetric allylation of chiral N-tert-butanesulfinyl aldimines with 3-bromomethyl-5H-furan-2-one proceeded in good anti/syn selectivities, providing optically pure substituted α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones bearing chiral amine with moderate to excellent yields (28–92%) and diastereoselectivities (76% to >99% de).

Key words

zinc - diastereoselective - asymmetric allylation - chiral aldimines - α-methylene-γ-butyrolactones
