26
Q

A
  1. From (+)-alpha-pinene from chiral pool
  2. Add BH3.SMe2, then MeOH
  3. Then CH2CHCH2MgBr, Et2O
27
Q

Describe Brown asymmetric allyl boration of an aldehyde

A
  1. Produces an enantioenriched product
  2. The large group of the Brown reagent creates steric hinderance with H equatorial when producing one product
  3. Therefore transition state where O is next to large group so no side groups coming off is prefered - less hinderance
28
Q

What happens when both the substrate and reagent are chiral and enantiopure

A
  1. There are two stereocontrolling factors present that can either oppose or reinforce one another- double diastereocontrol
29
Q

A
  1. Felkin-Anh control
30

31
Q

What is reagent control

A
  1. Where chiral reagents can dominate the induction process
