Abstract

(Formula Presented) The first example of enantioselective linear homoallylic alcohol transfer reaction was revealed. In all cases, the whole rearrangement is thermodynamically favorable and a steric effect is the driving force of this reaction. The preservation of the stereocenter and olefin geometry together with the isolation of γ-adduct homoallylic alcohols in one isomeric form have warranted the proposed mechanism.
