Expanding the scope of Metal-Free enantioselective allylic substitutions: Anthrones

Abstrakt

The highly enantioselective asymmetric allylic alkylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates with anthrones is presented. The reaction is simply catalyzed by cinchona alkaloid derivatives affording the final alkylated products in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
