Popis: α-Phenylthio-α,β-alkenones ( 2 ), readily available by Pd(II)-catalysed coupling of ( E )-1-phenylthio-1-tributylstannylhex-1-ene with the corresponding acid chlorides, have been treated with borane in the presence of phenylglycine- or proline-derived oxazaborolidines to afford 2-phenylthio-2-alken-1-ols ( 3 ) with good to excellent enantioselectivities. Ozonolysis of 3 provides a new and efficient route to chiral α-hydroxy thioesters 4 .
