The Catalytic Asymmetric Vinylogous Mukaiyama (CAVM) reactions of various a
ldehydes with dienolate 1 using different enolate activations (CuF . (S)-To
lBinBp, t-BuOCu . (S)-Tol-Binap, and various chiral nonracemic ammonium flu
orides derived from cinchona alkaloids) are described. These reactions prov
ed to be highly regioselective leading exclusively to the cr-aldol products
in good yields and peer to good enantioselectivities.
