Direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of
-keto esters with formaldehyde promoted by a dinuclear Ni2-Schiff base complexShinsuke Mouri, Zhihua Chen, Shigeki Matsunaga and Masakatsu Shibasaki
A homodinuclear Ni2-Schiff base 1 complex (0.1–1 mol%) promoted the direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of
-keto esters with formaldehyde, giving hydroxymethylated adducts in 94–66% ee.
