We describe the fully stereodivergent, dual catalytic α-allylation of linear aldehydes. The reaction proceeds via direct iridium-catalyzed substitution of racemic allylic alcohols with enamines generated in situ. The use of an Ir(P,olefin) complex and a diarylsilyl prolinol ether as catalysts in the presence of dimethylhydrogen phosphate as the promoter proved to be crucial for achieving high enantio- and diastereoselectivity (>99% ee, up to >20:1 dr). The utility of the method is demonstrated in a concise enantioselective synthesis of the antidepressant (-)-paroxetine.

Page/Page column 6, (2011/10/10)
The present invention concerns the use as perfuming ingredient, for instance to impart odor notes of the floral and/or green type, of a compound of formula 5 wherein R is an ortho, meta or para substituent of the phenyl, and represents a hydrogen atom or a C 1-2 alkyl or alkoxyl group; R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group; 10 R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a C 1-3 alkyl group; and X represents a CHO, COOR 3, CH(OR 4) 2 or CN group, R 3 being a methyl or ethyl group, and R 4, taken seperately, being a methyl or ethyl group, or said R 4, taken together, a C 2-5 alkanediyl group; and at least one of said R, R 1 or R 2 represents a group containing at least one carbon atom.
