Zn(pybox)‐Complex‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Aqueous Mukaiyama‐Aldol Reactions.

Abstract

Polyphenylalkane derivatives Q 0720Zn(pybox)-Complex-Catalyzed Asymmetric Aqueous Mukaiyama-Aldol Reactions. -Zn(pybox) complexes are suitable catalysts for the title reaction. Aromatic, unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes provide the corresponding adducts with good to high diastereo-and enantioselectivity. Some limitations are observed. -(JANKOWSKA, J.; MLYNARSKI*, J.; J.
