โฆ Synopsis
Aldol reaction of aldehydes with difluomketene ethyl trimethylsilyl acetal (1) in the presence of a substoichiometric amount of chiral Lewis acid 2 or 3 provides the corresponding ~,a-difluom hydroxy esters 4-12 with high enantioselectivitles (up to 98% ee). Reaction temperature has a great influence on the enantiofacial selection of aldehydes; the reactions of benzyloxyacetaldehyde catalyzed by Lewis acid 2 at -78 and -30"C gave the (+)-and (-)-ยขx,~-difluom ~hydroxy esters 7 in optical yields of 98% and 85%, respectively.
