Significance

Polystyrene-supported BINOL 1 was prepared by mixing ethynyl-functionalized ­BINOL and azidomethylpolystyrene in the presence of copper iodide and DIPEA. The titantium–1 complex generated in situ catalyzed the asymmetric allylation of ketones with tetraallyltin in the presence of 2-propanol to afford the corresponding homoallylic alcohols with up to 95% ee.

Comment

In the reaction of 3′-methylacetophenone with tetraallyltin, the catalyst was separated by filtration and reused twice with a slight loss of catalytic activity (fresh: 96% yield, 95% ee; 2nd reuse: 90% yield, 82% ee).
