Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of hydroxyketones by chemo- and enantio-selective alkylation of ketoaldehydes

Abstract
Optically active hydroxyketones [up to 93% enantiomeric excess (e.e.)] were obtained from the highly chemo- and enantio-selective alkylation of ketoaldehydes with dialkylzinc reagents using (2′S)-(+)-diphenyl(1′-methylpyrrolidin-2′-yl)methanol (DPMPM), or (1S,2R)-(–)-, and (1R,2S)-(+)-2-(N,N-dibutylamino)-1-phenylpropan-1-ol (N,N-dibutylnorephedrine)(DBNE) as chiral catalysts.
