Abstract

The first enantioselective synthesis of (−)‐frontalin involving an enantioselective nucleophilic 1,2‐addition of dimethylzinc to a functionalized α,β‐unsaturated ketone, in the presence of titanium tetraisopropoxide and a substoichiometric amount of the chiral ligand 1,2‐trans‐bis(hydroxycamphorsulfonamido)cyclohexane (HOCSAC, 2) as the key step, is described. The enantiomeric excess is as high as 89%. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
