27. Direct metallation of allyl ethers is Z-selective as a result of chelation. Hence, access to E-configured alkoxy-substituted allylmetal reagents and the resulting anti-1,2-diols has been problematic. For a more detailed discussion, see: Moriya, T.; Suzuki, A.; Miyaura, N. Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36, 1887, and refs 8 and 9c.

This process employs 3-chloropropenyl pivalate as the allyl donor, and only modest levels diastereo- and enantioselectivity are observed.
