Construction of Adjacent Quaternary and Tertiary Stereocenters via an Organocatalytic Allylic Alkylation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman Carbonates

Abstract
Racemic Baylis–Hillman carbonates can be converted in densely functionalized products by reaction with cyano esters in the presence of a catalytic amount of a modified Cinchona alkaloid in high enantioselectivities and fair diastereoselectivities. A rational for the observed stereoselectivity is presented.
