摘要
The effect of bases, acids, and water as additives in profine-catalyzed ketone-aldehyde aldol reactions has been studied. While the reaction appears to be relatively tolerant to small amounts of tertiary amine bases or weak acids, it stops completely with strong acids. The use of water as an additive had a highly beneficial effect on reactions that were conducted with a stoichiometric ratio of ketone to aldehyde, especially with cyclic ketones. This allows the efficient use of more precious ketones such as 4-thianone as donors in the direct enantioselective aldol and facilitates purification. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
