Alkenes as Chelating Groups in Diastereoselective Additions of Organometallics to Ketones. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Alkenes have been discovered to be chelating groups to Zn(II), enforcing highly stereoselective additions of organozincs to ,-unsaturated ketones. 1H NMR studies and DFT calculations provide support for this surprising chelation mode. The results expand the range of coordinating groups for chelation-controlled carbonyl additions from heteroatom Lewis bases to simple C-C double bonds, broadening the 60 year old paradigm.
