Abstract

Abstract Image

A new chiral oxazaborolidine catalyst was prepared in situ from 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylboron dichloride and N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-(S)-tryptophan. This catalyst is much more active than Corey's original catalyst for the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of aldehydes with silyl enol ethers. The observed syn selectivities and re-face attack of silyl enol ethers on carbonyl carbon of aldehydes imply that the extended-transition state model is applicable.
