Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Organic Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Highly enantioselective co-catalytic direct aldol reactions by a combination of simple hydrophobic acyclic amino acid and hydrogen-bond donating catalysts are presented. The corresponding aldol products are formed in high yields with high regio-, diastereo-(anti or syn) and enantioselectivity (up to 99.5:0.5 er). The catalyst loadings can be decreased to as little as 2 mol%.
