New developments on silyl 2-alkenyl sulfinates and their applications to the asymmetric synthesis of polypropionate fragments

Xiaogen Huang

Sulphur dioxide reacts with 1-oxydienes generating zwitterions which are quenched by enoxysilanes to form substituted silyl alkenylsulfinates. These intermediates are desilylated with Bu4NF and the resulting sulfinates react with MeI giving the correspondi ...
