Catalytic Asymmetric Addition of Polyfunctional Dialkylzincs to β-Stannylated and β-Silylated Unsaturated Aldehydes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00094a027

The addition of functionalized dialkylzincs to readily available β-stannylated or β-silylated unsaturated aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of (1R,2R)-1,2-bis(trifluorosulfonamido)cyclohexane (8 mol percent) provides chiral allylic alcohols
