Dimethylzinc-mediated enantioselective addition of terminal alkynes to 1,2-diketones using perhydro-1,3-benzoxazines as ligands
Keyword(s):
A conformationally restricted perhydro-1,3-benzoxazine derived from (-)-8-aminomenthol behaves as a good chiral ligand in the dimethylzinc-mediated enantioselective monoaddition of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkynes to 1,2-diketones. The corresponding α-hydroxyketones were...
