Enantiocontrolled synthesis of optically pure 5-trimethylsilyl- and 5-tributylstannyl-cyclohex-2-enones
Abstract
Optically pure 5-trimethylsilyl- and 5-tributylstannyl-cyclohex-2-enones have been prepared efficiently in an enantiocontrolled manner starting from the common chiral precursor by employing a novel palladium-mediated elimination reaction as the key step.
