Abstract

The polymeric, chelating proton donors 7 and 8 were synthesized by radical polymerization of the monomers 5/6 with different amounts of styrene. Protonation of chiral lithium enolates derived from silyl enol ethers 9 gave cis/trans ratios of up to 94:6 (10a) and 99:1 (10b), respectively. The polymers can be recycled and used repeatedly without appreciable loss of selectivity. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)
