Abstract

The allylation of the dienolate derived from the chiral α, β- or β,γ-unsaturated imide followed by the Cope rearrangement is shown to effect the net remote asymmetric induction to create a new chirality of either configuration at the γ-position in high % de. The utility of this approach is shown in the asymmetric synthesis of the C6 side chain of zaragozic acid A. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
