A. Soriente et al., Enantioselective aldol condensation of 1,3-bis-(trimethylsilyloxy)-1-methoxy-buta-1,3-diene promoted by chiral Ti(IV)/BINOL complex, TETRAHEDR-A, 11(11), 2000, pp. 2255-2258
Enantiomerically enriched delta-hydroxy-beta-ketoesters are easily availabl
e by aldol condensation of 1,3-bis-(trimethylsilyloxy)-1-methoxy-buta-1,3-d
iene in the presence of Ti(O-iPr)(4)/(S)-(-)-BINOL system. All reaction mix
tures were separated by column chromatography and mostly isolated in modera
te to good yields and all in high enantiomeric excesses. (C) 2000 Elsevier
