Abstract
Addition of γ-silyloxyallylstannanes to imines in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate was studied. Allylation of α-imino ester with (Z)-allylstannane proceeded to give anti-adduct as a major product, which was transformed into N,O,O-triacetyl erythro-sphingposine via appropriate functional group transformations.
Keywords: silyloxyallylstannane, imines, allylation, erythro-sphingosine
