The Asymmetric Kharasch Reaction. Catalytic Enantioselective Allylic Acyloxylation of Olefins with Chiral Copper(I) Complexes and tert-Butyl Perbenzoate

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(95)00444-H

Olefins were treated with tert-butyl perbenzoate in the presence of chiral copper(I) triflate bisoxazoline complexes to give non-racemic allyl benzoates as products.The yields range from 34 to 62percent and the enantiometric excess from 30 to 81percent.A
