Tp. Loh et al., HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE INDIUM TRICHLORIDE-CATALYZED ASYMMETRIC ALDOL REACTION OF FORMALDEHYDE AND A GLUCOSE-DERIVED SILYL ENOL ETHER IN WATER, Chemical communications, (8), 1998, pp. 861-862
The yield and stereochemical outcome of the reaction between D-glucose
-derived silyl enol ether 1 (Z and E isomers) and commercial formaldeh
yde in water catalysed by indium(III) choride was studied.
