Abstract
The direct cross-aldol reaction of alkynyl aldehydes catalyzed by a trifluoromethylated diarylprolinol provides a practical route for the highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral β-alkynyl-β-hydroxy aldehydes. Good anti selectivity and excellent enantioselectivity were obtained in the reactions of silylpropynals, which afford synthetically useful chiral building blocks. Reacts like a Pro: The asymmetric, direct cross-aldol reaction of alkynyl aldehydes catalyzed by a trifluoromethylated diarylprolinol provides a practical and highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral β-alkynyl-β-hydroxy aldehydes. Good anti selectivity and excellent enantioselectivity are obtained in the reactions of silylpropynals, which afford synthetically useful chiral building blocks.
