Abstract

Dibenzylideneacetone (8) reacts with in situ-generated allylindium halide reagents to yield the product of a homoallyl-cyclopropanation reaction: 2-(3 ″-butenyl)-1, 1-bis [(E)-2′- phenylethenyl] cyclopropane (9), which proceeds via step-wise cleavage of the CO bond and delivery of two allyl fragments from the reagent. A range of enantiomerically enriched ligands have been tested as stoichiometric asymmetric modifiers for this process. ...
