title: Toward a versatile allylation reagent: practical, enantioselective allylation of acylhydrazones using strained silacycles.
abstract: A highly practical method for the enantioselective allylation of acylhydrazones has been developed. The previously reported strained silacycle reagent 1 reacts with a wide variety of acylhydrazones to give the hydrazide products with good enantioselectivity (83-89% ee, typically). It has been demonstrated that the products may be isolated without chromatography by recrystallization in >/=98% ee.
