that triazolium precatalysts promote (in the presence of base) highlychemoselectivecrossed acyloin condensation reactions between aliphatic and ortho-substituted aromaticaldehydes. An o-bromine atom can serve as a temporary directing group to ensure high chemoselectivity (regardless of the nature of the other substituents on the aromatic ring) which then can be conveniently removed. The process is

Morpholinone- and piperidinone-derived triazolium salts are shown to catalyze highly chemoselective cross-benzoin reactions between aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. The reaction scope includes ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives with a range of electron-donating and -withdrawing groups as well as branched and unbranched aliphatic aldehydes. Catalytic loadings as low as 5 mol
