Enantioselective radical allylation reactions using chiral lanthanide Lewis acids

Radical additions to oxazolidinone acrylate followed by allyl trapping were studied with chiral Lewis acids derived from lanthanide salts. Chiral ligands were evaluated to establish the α-stereocenter. Ligands with a prolinol framework along with achiral additives proved to be effective. The observed trends are compared with those in the literature.
