Asymmetric Synthesis: Allylation and Enolate Synthesis

This lecture covers the asymmetric synthesis of allylation and enolates, focusing on allylation reactions with boranes, such as Crotylation, Roush's allylation, and Brown's allylation. It also discusses the stéréosélective synthesis of enolates using chiral auxiliaries like Evans' auxiliary. The lecture emphasizes the importance of steric repulsions and selectivity in these reactions.
