伪,尾-Unsaturated aldehydes 6a鈥搄 undergo an enantioselective allylation with allylic trichlorosilanes 2a,b in the presence of METHOX (4) as a Lewis basic catalyst (鈮?0 mol %) to produce the homoallylic alcohols 7a鈥?i>l at good to high enantioselectivity (83鈥?6% ee). This study shows that the reactivity scope of METHOX can be extended from aromatic to nonaromatic aldehydes.
