Abstract:The catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement of allylic ethers is currently unknown. This process constitutes a recognised challenge as it is traditionally considered to arise from a non-concerted reaction pathway via formation and recombination of radical pairs. This manuscript demonstrates a catalytic enantioselective solution to this challenge, and shows that [1,2]-Wittig products are generated via an alternative reaction cascade to traditional dogma. The developed process employs a chiral bifu… Show more
