Abstract

Enantiopure allyltitanium and crotyltitanium complexes allow the enantioselective synthesis of 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,5-diols as well as polypropionate units. These complexes can be used in the synthesis of a great number of biologically active compounds.

The enantiomeric excesses were determined by HPLC analysis (Waters 590 chromatograph coupled with a Varian UV detector λ = 220 nm), Chiralcel-AD2, Chiralpak-AD2, Chiralcel-OD-H or Chiralpak-OD-H column (hexane/isopropanol or hexane/ethanol).
