Strained silacycles in organic synthesis: a new reagent for the enantioselective allylation of aldehydes

James W A Kinnaird et al. J Am Chem Soc. .

Abstract

A new reagent for the enantioselective allylation of aliphatic aldehydes has been developed. The reagent is easily prepared in a single step from commercially available materials and may be stored without significant decomposition. The reactivity of the reagent is attributed to strain-release Lewis acidity.
