Abstract:
A new method involving efficient, widely applicable, and highly selective
-chlorination of simple silyl enolate with Lewis acid and an
,
-dichloro-1,3-dicarbonyl controller unit was reported. Diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity of the reaction were investigated. High reactivity and selectivity were achieved by using
,
-dichlorinated malonic ester.
