Abstract

Synthetically useful β,γ-unsaturated carbonyl compounds having a quaternary carbon at the α-position were prepared with high stereoselectivity by the reaction of a dienolate anion derived from α,β-unsaturated imide having a chiral auxiliary and electrophiles (ethyl acetate and allyl iodide as the C₂ and C₃ unit, respectively). This method was applied to a short asymmetric synthesis of (+)-ethosuximide.
