Abstract
AbstractThe acylative dimerisation of 2‐alkenyl‐1,3‐thiazolines 1 gives compounds 3 and 8 upon treatment with trichloroacetyl chloride and trifluoroacetic anhydride, respectively. This reaction is completely diastereoselective, in particular giving only a single double‐bond isomer. The scope of the reaction has been evaluated synthetically, while a computational study has elucidated the mechanism of the reaction and the origin of stereocontrol. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
