Abstract

This manuscript describes the extension of Stille’s palladium-catalyzed olefin dicarbonylation reaction to chiral allylic alcohols with chirality transfer to afford the corresponding chiral alcohol functionalized with bis-carbomethoxy esters, containing three contiguous chiral centers, in good to excellent diastereoselectivities (78–98%).
