Enantioselective synthesis of allylic esters via asymmetric allylic substitution with metal carboxylates using planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl ruthenium catalysts.
An asymmetric allylic substitution with sodium carboxylate using a planar-chiral cyclopentadienyl ruthenium complex has been developed. Optically active allylic esters were prepared in good yields with high regio- and enantioselectivities.
