Abstract

Cyclohexane derivatives Q 0040Rhodium-Catalyzed Enantioselective 1,2-Addition of Aluminum Organyl Compounds to Cyclic Enones. -Organo-aluminum compounds undergo 1,2-additions to cyclic enones that lack substituents in the α-position. The method is also used for 1,2-arylation with further oxidation to give diastereomerically pure epoxides (XV).-(SIEWERT, J.; SANDMANN, R.; VON ZEZSCHWITZ*, P.; Angew.
