Abstract

The diastereoselectivity of the ortho ester Claisen rearrangement of chiral propargylic alcohols has been investigated for alcohols 6-12 (eq 3). The results of this study, summarized in Table 11, show that aryl-substituted propargyl alcohols 11 and 12 react stereorandomly. However, alkyl-substituted propargyl alcohols 6-10 show a preference for formation of the 2S*, 4S* diastereomer, with stereoselectivity increasing with increasing ...
