Catalytic enantioselective Grignard Nozaki–Hiyama methallylation from the alcohol oxidation level: chloride compensates for π-complex instability

Abstract

Methallyl chloride serves as an efficient allyl donor in highly enantioselective Grignard Nozaki–Hiyama methallylations from the alcohol or aldehyde oxidation level viairidium catalyzed transfer hydrogenation. Under identical conditions, methallyl acetate does not react efficiently. Double methallylation of 1,3-propanediol provides the C2-symmetric adduct as a single enantiomer, as determined by HPLC analysis.
