Asymmetric Carbon-Carbon Bond Formations by the Reaction of "Chiral Episulfonium Ions" with Enol Silyl Ethers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1992.239

Carbonyl compounds having asymmetric carbon center at β position and phenylthio group on γ carbon were produced by the reaction of optically active 2-hydroxyalkyl phenyl sulfides with enol silyl ethers in the presence of Lewis acid through "chiral episulf
