Abstract

In 1988, we reported the synthesis of allylboronate 4 containing a conformationally rigid tartramide auxiliary. 39 This reagent, designed on the basis of our rationale of the mechanism of asymmetric induction in allylboration reactions of 1-3, 24, 40 was found to be substantially more enantioselective than the parent tartrate ester derivative 1 (94-97% ee for most substrates except PhCH0). 39 The Banfi reagent 4 still ranks among the most highly ...
