Role of Additives in Chiral Amine-Catalyzed Direct Aldol Reaction

Abstract

A systematic study of chiral adducts derived from amines as catalysts for aldol reaction revealed that enantioselective outcome depends on the chiral enamine intermediate and not the face-selective activation of aldehyde. A simple addition compound of proline and 8-hydroxy quinoline was found to be a good catalyst.
