EZ-CrotylMix: A Comprehensive Solution to the Enantioselective Crotylation of Aldehydes

Prof. James Leighton has developed the EZ-CrotylMix reagents for the enantioselective crotylation of aldehydes. These reagents show unprecedented selectivity and versatility, and represent one of the only self-contained crotylation reagents to date.

Benefits of EZ-CrotylMix Reagents:

• Bench stable reagents that allow for easy reaction set-up and manipulation
• Provide the desired crotylation product in excellent yield and enantioselectivity
• Self-contained reagents that do not require any additional synthetic steps
• Represent a broadly reaching solution to the enantioselective crotylation of aldehydes
