Control of Diastereoselectivity in the Crotylation and Cinnamylation of Aldehydes by the Selection of Ligands on Allylic Indium Reagents.

Abstract

The stereoselective outcome of the title reaction is found to depend not only on the nature of aldehyde, but also on ligands on allylindium intermediates. Configuration of allylic compound and solvent used can also influence the stereoselectivity. -(HIRASHITA*, T.; KAMEI, T.; SATAKE, M.; HORIE, T.; SHIMIZU, H.; ARAKI, S.; Org. Biomol.
