ChemInform Abstract: Asymmetric Allylation of Aldehydes and Glyoxylates Through ′C-Centered′ Chiral Pentacoordinate Allylsilicates or Promoted by Lewis Acid.
An asymmetric allylation and allenylation of isatins with facile organoboron reagents was developed under the catalysis of Lewis acid. A series of optically pure 3-allyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles and 3-allenyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles can be obtained...
