Aluminum Chloride Promoted Cross-Coupling of Trisubstituted Enol Phosphates with Organozinc Reagents En Route to the Stereoselective Synthesis of Tamoxifen and Its Analogues

摘要

A new method for the stereoselective cross-coupling reaction of arylzinc chlorides with trisubstituted enol phosphates is described. The developed method requires aluminum chloride as a promoter, and the reaction conditions tolerate various functional groups. The observed reactivity pattern of trisubstituted enol phosphates was used for the stereoselective preparation of tamoxifen and its analogues.
