title: Lipase-mediated resolution of 4-TMS-3-butyn-2-ol and use of the mesylate derivatives as a precursor to a highly stereoselective chiral allenylindium reagent.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. An improved procedure for the resolution of 4-trimethylsilyl-3-butyn-2-ol has been developed. The mesylate derivatives of the resolved alcohols have been found to undergo highly enantio-, regio-, and diastereoselective additions to aldehydes, leading to homopropargylic alcohol adducts.
