Novel chiral bisformamide-promoted asymmetric allylation of benzaldehyde with allyltrichlorosilane
Novel chiral bisformamides have been prepared from (R,R)-1,2- cyclohexanediamine and utilized as Lewis bases in the asymmetric allylation of benzaldehyde with allyltrichlorosilane. The reaction in the presence of Lewis base 1i gave an 83:17 enantiomeric r
