Abstract
Through the use of an amino acid based imidazole catalyst, a regiodivergent silylation of chiral diols in cases where there is not a significant steric and electronic difference between the regioisotopic hydroxyl groups has been developed. This transformation allows for the conversion of racemic diols into regioisomeric, enantiomerically enriched, monosilylated products. The utility of this process is highlighted in the efficient enantioselective preparation of a useful synthetic intermediate and the natural product, sapinofuranone A.Entities:
