Abstract

Conjugate addition of monoorganocopper compounds with iodotrimethylsilane (TMSI) or lithium diorganocuprates, with or without halosilanes, to allylic acrylates give allylic silyl ketene acetals/ester enolates. These can undergo Claisen rearrangement to give diastereomeric mixtures of γ, δ-unsaturated acids after aqueous work-up. For organocuprates, the diastereomeric ratio is strongly affected by the halosilane. Either ...
