Abstract:Lewis base catalyzed allylations of C-centered nucleophiles have been largely limited to the niche substrates with acidic C-H substituted with C-F bonds at the stabilized carbanionic carbon. Here we report that the concept of latent pronucleophiles serves to overcome these limitations and allow for a variety of common silylated stabilized C-nucleophiles to undergo enantioselective allylations using allylic fluorides. The reactions of silyl enol ethers afford the allylation products in good yields and with high… Show more
