selective aldol reaction mediated by boron compounds and a mild organic base (DBU) was developed. Inclusion of electron-withdrawing groups in the amino acid derivative ligands reacted with BH3·SMe2 forms a boron promoter with increased Lewis acidity at the boron atom and facilitated the carboxylic acid selective enolate formation, even in the presence of other carbonyl groups such as amides, esters, ketones

Reformatsky-type addition of esters of α-halogeno carboxylic acids to aldehydes and ketones in the presence of Fe(CO)5 and an activating agent (CBrCl3 or I2) afforded the corresponding esters of β-hydroxy acids in good yields. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed.

The mechanism of the electroreductive coupling of alpha-chloro esters or alpha-chloro nitriles with carbonyl compounds by the means of a sacrificial zinc anode and a nickel catalyst was elucidated by electroanalytical techniques. The mechanism involved reduction of a Ni(II) complex to a Ni(0) complex, oxidative addition of the alpha-chloro ester to the Ni(0) complex, and a Zn(II)/Ni(II) exchange, leading to an organozinc Reformatsky reagent. The electrosynthesis of various beta-hydroxy esters, beta-hydroxy nitriles, and 2,3-epoxy esters was successfully achieved under extremely mild conditions.

The aldol condensations of alpha- and beta-(benzyloxy) aldehydes with enol silanes, catalyzed by Cp2Zr(OTf)(2) . THF or Cp2Zr(OTf)(2), in a variety of solvents were studied. The simple diastereoselectivity of these reactions is modest and comparable to that observed using simple aldehydes of similar steric requirements. Studies have revealed that TMSOTf is directly produced on reaction with the zirconocene catalyst with the enol silane in nitroalkane solvent or is formed during catalysis in dichloromethane solution. Although TMSOTf is known to catalyze cross-aldol reactions under these conditions, the rate of this process is not always competitive with that observed using the zircanocene catalysts. In particular, sterically unhindered or aromatic aldehydes react via a mechanism that appears to be mainly Zr-catalyzed, based on both the difference in rate between Zr- and Si-mediated reactions as well as differences in enol silane/silyl triflate reactivity in crossover-type experiments. With sterically hindered aldehydes in dichloromethane or nitromethane, catalysis is mediated by Si. The Zr-catalyzed process occurs via formation of a Zr-aldolate complex from aldehyde and enol silane, with liberation of TMSOTf, followed by rate-limiting O-silylatian of the metal aldolate by TMSOTf, as revealed by both model studies and in situ monitoring during catalysis.
