Abstract
Methyltin trichloride and indium(III) chloride promote ethyl pyruvate addition to cyclic allylic stannanes to produce α-methyl-α-hydroxy esters with excellent threo-diastereoselectivity (92-100% de). These reactions probably proceed via an initial γ-anti transmetallation followed by a metallo-ene cycloaddition involving internal chelation. The resulting esters can be diastereospecifically converted to the corresponding bicyclic bromolactones.
