β¦ Synopsis
Reaction of allyl aryl sulfides and a-diazoacetic acid esters in the presence of optically active Co(HD-salen complex (8-Br) provided 3-substituted 2-arylthio-4-pentenoic acid esters stereo~l~vely by way of enantioselcctive S-ylide formation and subse~luent diastereoselective [2,3]sismalropic rearrangement. For example, the reaction of Β’innamyl phenyl sulfide and (-)-menthyl a-diazoacctatc provided (-)-manthyl (2R,3~-2-phenylthio-3-phenyl-4-pentanoate of 74% de prefereutially.

Allyi aryl sulfides and diazoacetic acid esters react in the presence of optically active Co(lll)salen complex (4) with good enantioselectivity, to give the [2,31sigmatropic rearrangement products, 2arylthio-3-aryl-4-pentenoic acid esters, via the corresponding S-ylides.
Trimethylsilyldiazomethane is compared with ethyl diazoacetate for the rhodium, copper, and cobalt catalyzed formation and [2,3] rearrangement of allylsulfonium ylides. At room temperature, the reaction can be carried out using the allyl sulfide as the limiting reagent by slow addition of 3 equivale
