Abstract

The stereoselective allylation of chiral dioxane acetals 1 was found to be highly dependent on the nature of allylmetal reagent in the following order: Ph3Si (19/1) < Me3Si (58/1) < Ph3Sn (90/1) < Me3Ge (100/1) < n-Bu3Sn (>300/1). The allylation with allyltributylstannane was significantly more selective than allyltrimethylsilane for a number of chiral dioxane acetals examined.
