The enantioselective cross aldol reaction of 1-benzyl 4,5-dioxo-2-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates and ketones was studied with proline derivatives or cinchona alkaloid-derived primary amines as the catalysts for the first time. trans-4-Benzoyloxy-L-proline (15) was found to be the best catalyst for acyclic ketones. For cyclohexanone, the best results were achieved with 9-deoxy-9-epi-aminoquinine (18) as the catalyst in the presence of racemic 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl hydrogen phospha ...[more]
