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
