Enantioselective synthesis of homoallylic alcohols using (E)-but-2-enyl-trichlorosilane and chiral diamines

Abstract
Condensation of aromatic aldehydes and (E)-but-2-enyl- trichlorosilane in the presence of (S)-(+)-4-(2-methylpropyl)-2-(2-pyridinyl)-2-oxazoline gives the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in excellent anti-diastereoselectivity (>99%) and good enantioselectivity (36–74%).
