Abstract
The enantioselective Mukaiyama‐aldol reaction between 1‐phenyl‐1‐trimethylsilyloxyethene (1) and three pyruvates (2a–c) is catalyzed by the lanthanide triflate complexes of(4__S__,5__S__)‐2,6‐bis[5‐phenyl‐4‐(triisopropylsilyloxy)methyl‐1,3‐oxazolin‐2‐yl]pyridine (3). The best catalysts are the Lu^III^‐ and Sc^III^‐based complexes that give high yields of (S)‐4a–c and enantiomeric excesses up to 99.5 %. The La^III^‐based complex favors the formation of the opposite enantiomer [77 % ee of (R)‐4c]. The rationale of the stereochemical outcome is proposed. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
