Abstract

Diastereoselective syntheses O 0031 Metal-Mediated Diastereoselective Allylation Reaction of Chiral α,β-Epoxy Aldehyde. Part 2. -A general method for the metal-mediated diastereoselective allylation of chiral epoxy aldehydes affords homoallylic alcohols in moderate diastereomeric excess and in excellent yields and purity. Compared to other metals used, zinc offers the advantages of low toxicity and high reactivity. -(PARK, S. H.; YOON, H. K.; LEE*, H. W.; Bull. Korean Chem.
