Abstract

An enantioselective approach to (-)-isoavenaciolide was achieved starting from 1-undecyn-3-ol. The synthesis relied upon the preparation of a chiral 4-silyloxy-2-alkenylborane by hydroboration of a protected 2,3-allenol and subsequent stereoselective addition to 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde.
