Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Jun 7:(21):2689-91. doi: 10.1039/b500919g. Epub 2005 Apr 12.

Abstract

A new strategy for the diastereoselective and convergent synthesis of pterocarpans which is able to control the relative stereochemistry of the molecule through allylation of aromatic aldehydes with cyclic allylsiloxanes is described.
