Straightforward access to enantioenriched pyrazyl alcohols using chiral organomagnesiates
Résumé
The clean iodine-metal exchange of iodopyrazine and subsequent enantioselective addition of the intermediate pyrazyl magnesiate to aldehydes using ((R,R)-TADDOLate)Bu2MgLi2 is reported. New chiral pyrazylalcohols were obtained in enantiomeric excesses of up to 90%.
