Abstract

A highly enantioselective allylic substitution of (Z)-but-2-ene-1,4-diol derivatives was developed using a rhodium(I) catalyst and arylboronic acids as nucleophiles. The reaction yields versatile homoallylic alcohols from readily available linear biscarbonates.

Key words

homoallylic alcohols - rhodium - boronic acids - desymmetrization - asymmetric allylic substitution

P-Phos is stable to air in the solid state; however, it is highly sensitive to oxygen once in solution.
