Asymmetric Induction by Chiral Silicon. Synthesis and Electrophilic Reactivity towards Dienes and Carbanions of R-(-)-Methyl-α-naphthyl-phenylsilyl Phenyl Thioketone

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39880000365

The title compound was prepared by acid catalysed reaction of the corresponding ketone with hydrogen sulphide, and its ability to transfer chirality to the carbon α to silicon in reactions with buta-1,3-diene and methyl-lithium was tested; good levels of
