High stereoselectivity (over 80% ee) was attained in silver(I)-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reaction of methyl isocyanoacetate with aldehydes in the presence of a chiral (aminoalkyl)ferrocenylphosphine-silver(I) complex by slow addition of the isocyanoacetate over a period of 1 h to a solution of aldehyde and the silver(I) catalyst in 1,2-dichloroethane at 30-degrees-C.
