Abstract

Isomerically pure trans- and cis-γ-bromoallyltrichlorosilanes 4 and 5 have been synthesized and shown to react with aromatic aldehydes 1 in the presence of Lewis-basic catalysts (e.g., DMF) to produce the corresponding anti- and syn-allylbromohydrins 8 and 9, respectively, as single diastereoisomers. With BINAPO 25 as a chiral catalyst, promising enantioselectivity (⩽50% ee) has been attained.
