  • Title: Chirality transfer in Au-catalyzed cyclization reactions of monoallylic diols: selective access to specific enantiomers based on olefin geometry.
    Author: Aponick A, Biannic B.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2011 Mar 18; 13(6):1330-3. PubMed ID: 21314106.
    Abstract:
    The gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of monoallylic diols to form tetrahydropyrans is shown to be highly stereoselective when chiral allylic alcohols are employed. Substrates that differ only in olefin geometry provide enantiomeric products from formal S(N)2' reactions in high yields with excellent chirality transfer. The allylic alcohol stereochemistry also efficiently controls the facial selectivity when the substrates include additional stereocenters.
