title: Organocatalytic Enantioselective Allylic Etherification of Morita-Baylis-Hillman Carbonates and Silanols.
abstract: The organocatalytic asymmetric allylic etherification reaction of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates and silanols was reported for the first time. With modified cinchona alkaloid (DHQD)2PYR as the catalyst, a series of aromatic, heterocyclic, or aliphatic Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates (25 examples) worked well with triphenylsilanol, affording the corresponding products in moderate to good yields (up to 98%), high regioselectivities (>20:1), and good enantioselectivities (up to 92%). When dimethylphenylsilanol was used as the nucleophile, the product was obtained in 60% yield and 87% ee.
