Abstract
[reaction: see text] Hexacarbonyl dicobalt complexes of propargylic acetals undergo Lewis acid catalyzed crotylation reactions with enhanced levels of diastereoselectivity (dr 6 to >20:1, syn/anti) while efficiently producing stereochemically well-defined homoallylic ethers. These results are in contrast to uncomplexed propargylic acetals, which undergo the crotylation reactions with low selectivity (dr < 2:1, syn/anti). After removal of the cobalt complex, the reactions afford propargylic ethers in high yields.
