Mechanisms of nucleophilic substitutions of acetals
The nucleophilic substitution of (+)-(R)-benzaldehyde methyl isopropyl acetal (αR)-1 (93% ee) and (+)-(R)-o-anisaldehyde methyl isopropyl acetal (αR)-2 (homochiral) with Me2CuLi-BF3·OEt2 occurs completely chemoselectively to afford (+)-(αR)-α-methyl(benzyl) isopropyl ether (+)-(αR)-3 (40% ee) and (+...
