When a chiral (racemic or nonracemic) alkenyl anion is added to a squarate ester, an approximate 1:1 mixture of diastereomers results. Further reaction with a second alkenyl anion leads only to a single product, a finding compatible with helical equilibration at the 1,3,5,7-octatetraene stage of the cascade.
当将手性(外消旋或非外消旋)烯基阴离子添加到
方酸酯中时,会生成约1:1的非对映异构体混合物。与第二个烯基阴离子的进一步反应仅产生单一产物,这一发现与级联的1,3,5,7-辛
三烯阶段的螺旋平衡相容。
