Catalytic asymmetric dienylation of achiral aldehydes using buta-2,3-dienylstannane in the presence of chiral Lewis acid and synergetic reagent

Abstract

Efficient catalytic asymmetric dienylation of achiral aldehydes with buta-2,3-dienyltributylstannane promoted by a BINOL-Ti^IV complex is achieved with high enantioselectivity by the utilization of Et₂BSPrⁱ.
