Abstract
The asymmetric aldol reaction of ethyl trifluoropyruvate with aldehydes was developed using diarylprolinol as a catalyst, affording α‐trifluoromethyl‐substituted tertiary alcohols with high enantioselectivity. Similarly, the asymmetric Mannich reaction of aldehydes with an imine derived from ethyl trifluoropyruvate was developed using diphenylprolinol silyl ether in combination with an acid, yielding α‐trifluoromethyl‐substituted tertiary amines. The absolute and relative configurations of the products were determined by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD).
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
