A series of racemic alpha-thio-, beta-thio-, and alpha-methyl-beta-thio-substituted aldehydes has been prepared, and their Lewis acid promoted aldol condensation with nonstereogenic and stereogenic silylketene acetals and silyl enolethers has been studied. With alpha-thio-substituted aldehydes, a high level of non-chelation-controlled diastereofacial selectivity can be easily achieved, while chelation control requires a strongly chelating catalyst and a small, aliphatic S-protecting group. Some examples of addition of stereogenic nucleophiles occurring with efficient diastereofacial syn simple stereoselection are also reported. The reactions of beta-thio-substituted aldehydes are less stereoselective, in particular when the stereocenter is in the beta-position. Models of stereoselection are presented to rationalize the results that were compared with those obtained in similar reactions with chiral alkoxy aldehydes.
