Abstract
Wittig reactions between 10-(phenylsulfonyl)isobornyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetates (1 and 6) and ketenes resulted in asymmetric induction, with the selective synthesis of allenes with axial chirality. Use of the (1R)-(−)-10-(phenylsulfonyl)isoborneol unit allows the synthesis of allenes with S configuration, whereas use of the (1S)-(+)-10-(phenylsulfonyl)isoborneol unit produces allenes with R configuration. The structure of (1R)-(−)-10-(phenylsulfonyl)isobornyl (S)-5,5-dimethylhexa-2,3-dienoate (2e) was determined by X-ray crystallography. Chirooptical studies of the allenic esters were carried out, confirming that two sets of enantiomeric derivatives were obtained. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
