Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) No over-reacting: A diarylprolinol was found to be an effective organocatalyst of the direct, enantioselective aldol reaction of acetaldehyde, affording β-hydroxy α-unsubstituted aldehydes in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme). In the proposed transition state the aldehyde reacts on the more hindered face of the intermediate enamine as a consequence of the hydrogen bond between the aldehyde and the OH group of the organocatalyst.
