Abstract
Chiral multifunctional phosphine (R)-N-(2'-diphenylphosphanyl-[1,1']binaphthalenyl-2-yl)methanesulfonamide L2 or (R)-N-(2'-diphenylphosphanyl-[1,1']binaphthalenyl-2-yl)acetamide L3 is an efficient catalyst in the allylic substitutions of MBH acetates 1 with 2-trimethylsilyloxy furan 2 to provide gamma-butenolides 3 in good to excellent yields and enantiomeric excesses in the presence of water.
