The proline-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reaction between aliphatic aldehydes and acetone has, to date, remained underdeveloped. Challenges in controlling this reaction include avoiding undesired side reactions such as aldol condensation and self-aldolization. In recent years we have developed optimized conditions, which enable high yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities, and which are presented

an ester/amide exchange, and the use of the resulting β-hydroxy amide for the acylation of an organometallic compound. We shortened this route by showing that β-keto Weinreb amides are hydrogenated with up to 99 % ee in the presence of [Me2NH2]+[RuCl(S)-BINAP]2(µ-Cl)3}– (0.5 mol-%) at room temp./5 bar. These Weinreb amides were prepared by seemingly obvious yet unprecedented condensations of lithiated
Chiral organoaluminum complex 1 efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric hetero-ene reaction of commercially available 2-methoxypropene (2) with aldehydes under mild conditions to give the corresponding β-hydroxymethyl ketones 3 in good to excellent chemical yields with high enantiomeric excesses. The asymmetriccatalysis of 1 was further applied to the carbonyl addition of methallylsilanes, where exclusive
Chiral 1,3-oxazolidines are readily prepared from methyl ketones and chiral norephedrine. Formation of stannous azaenolates from the oxazolidines and reaction with aldehydes followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary lead to the aldol products in high level of enantiomeric purity.

A variety of chiral bis-pyrroles have been made readily accessible via acid-catalyzed condensation of chiral ketones with pyrrole. Three representative chiral ketones 2-4 taken from the chiral pool were transformed into the corresponding bis-pyrrole derivatives in a straightforward acid-catalyzed condensation. Chiral β-hydroxy ketone derivatives, prepared through proline-catalyzed aldol condensation of acetone and an aldehyde, are readily transformed into the corresponding dipyrrolylmethane by the acid-catalyzed condensation carried out in the same conditions. The crystal structure of the chiral dipyrrolylmethane 2 derived from the (-)-menthone was determined.
