title: Organocatalytic peroxy-asymmetric allylic alkylation.
abstract: The peroxy-asymmetric allylic alkylation of hydroperoxyalkanes with Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates was catalysed by modified cinchona alkaloids (up to 93% ee), from which chiral alpha-methylene-beta-hydroxy esters could be efficiently derived.
