Lewis acid catalyzed Hosomi–Sakuraireaction of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes and allylsilanes using an easily handled disulfonimide precatalyst (see scheme). The key to the success of this system is to turn the usually undesired silylium ion catalysis into the desired catalytic regime and pair the cation with an enantiopure disulfonimide anion, thereby applying the concept of asymmetric counteranion‐directed
A highly enantioselective allylation reaction of aldehydes with silyl reagents was developed for the synthesis of a variety of chiral homoallylic alcohols. In the presence of a chiral oxazaborolidinium ion (COBI) catalyst, the reaction proceeded in high yield (up to 99%) with excellent asymmetric induction (up to 99% ee).
