Abstract

Abstract The title rearrangement of the chiral (E-crotyloxy)acetamides derived from (S)-prolinol has been shown to provide a modest level of asymmetric induction (52–60%) along with a high erythro-selectivity (95–98%). The influence of the metal centers (Li, K, and Zr) and the ligating substituents on the prolinol part has been discussed.
