anti And syn stereoselectivity on the HBF4-catalyzed Mannich-type reaction
of ketene silyl acetal derived from cc-oxy esters with aldimines were inves
tigated. Whereas use of ketene silyl acetal derived from aryl ester in aque
ous 2-propanol gave anti beta -amino-alpha -siloxy ester with excellent ste
reoselectivity, use of ketene silyl acetal derived from methyl ester in wat
er in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate gave the syn isomer preferenti
ally. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
