Abstract

A distinctly different approach for the vinylogous aldolation of aldehydes is described, which exploits 2-oxonia-Cope rearrangement reactions between two readily available partners, a set of rationally designed chiral homoallylic alcohol synthons and aldehydes, under simple conditions. In these processes, chirality transfer from the former to the latter is nearly perfect, giving rise to excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity without the regioselectivity issue associated with traditional vinylogous aldol reactions.
