Key words C-C bond formation - allyl alcohols - enantioselective catalysis - vinylboronic acid - zinc organyls - vinylation Full Text References References 1a Bianchini C. Farnetti E. Glendenning L.

The thus formed π-complex (see Figure [2] ) and the additional ring current effect lead to a shift of the NMR signals to higher ppm values.17 NMR spectra were not recorded in CDCl3 due to decomposition of the product. 18 Igushi M.
