Synthesis of Silicon Substituted Cyclopropylmethyl Alcohols in Optically Active Form via Asymmetric Simmons-Smith Reaction of γ-Silicon Substituted Allylic Alcohols

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1993.1227

Optically active silicon substituted cyclopropyl methyl alcohols were synthesized through asymmetric Simmons-Smith reaction; that is, the reaction of γ-silicon substituted allylic alcohols with diethylzinc and diiodomethane utilizing (+)-diethyl tartrate
