Y. Landais et P. Ogay, ENANTIOSELECTIVE ALDOL REACTIONS USING HOMOCHIRAL LITHIUM AMIDES AS NONCOVALENTLY BOUND CHIRAL AUXILIARIES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(4), 1994, pp. 541-544
Syn and anti aldols have been prepared from ketones and esters respect
ively with relatively high enantiomeric excesses, using a homochiral l
ithium amide possessing two coordinating sites, as non-covalently boun
d chiral auxiliary.
