Highly Enantioselective Aldol Reaction: Development of a New Chiral Auxiliary from cis-1-Amino-2-hydroxyindan

J Chem Soc Chem Commun. 1992;1992(22):1673-1674. doi: 10.1039/C39920001673.

Abstract

Boron enolates obtained from optically active oxazolidinone derivative of cis-1-amino-2-hydroxyindan are reacted with various aldehydes to provide highly enantioselective aldol products in good yields.
