What is it about?

An α1-Dawson polyanion bearing a lateral side chain with a 4-aminopyridine end group was synthesized. This organo-POM catalyzes the addition of indenyl allyl silanes to cinnamoyl fluorides. The polyanionic framework influences the organocatalyst activity and selectivity. A moderate but nonzero chirality transfer from the chiral inorganic framework to the organic substrate was observed.
