Ti-direct, powerful, stereoselective aldol-type additions of esters and thioesters to carbonyl compounds: application to the synthesis and evaluation of lactone analogs of jasmone perfumes
thiophenyl esters or thioaryl esters with aldehydes and ketones was performed (total 46 examples). The present method is advantageous from atom-economical and cost-effective viewpoints; good to excellent yields, moderate to good syn-selectivity, substrate variations, reagent availability, and simple procedures. Utilizing the present reaction as the key step, an efficient short synthesis of three lactone
Chiraloxazolines, as their boron enolates derived from various boron triflates, react with aldehydes to give erythro-selectivity (97% + %) with enantiomeric purities of 50–60%. Achiral oxazolines as their boron enolates derived from diisopinocampheylborane give, on reaction with aldehydes, β-hydroxy esters with high threo-selectivity (90+%) in 77–85% ee. A variety of structurally different oxazolines

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.
