Abstract
Usually, silyl-protected α-hydroxy aldehydes undergo Felkin addition due to steric and eletronic properties of the silyl group. However, dialkylzincs, functionalized dialkylzincs, and vinylzinc reagents add to silyl-protected α-hydroxy aldehydes with high selectivity for chelation-controlled or anti-Felkin products in the presence of alkylzinc halides or triflates.
