EFFICIENT ASYMMETRIC INDUCTION VIA COORDINATION OF CHIRAL DIAMINE TO TIN(II) ENOLATE: A HIGHLY ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 2-SUBSTITUTED MALATES

Abstract
In the presence of chiral diamine, (2S)-1-methyl-2-[(N-1-naphthylamino)methyl]pyrrolidine, the tin(II) enolate of 3-acetylthiazolidine-2-thione reacts with various α-ketoesters to afford the corresponding aldol-type products, generally, in greater than 95% enantiomeric excess.
