Abstract
The asymmetric construction of quaternary carbon centers via crossโaldol reactions of ketones with ฮฒ,ฮณโunsaturated keto esters catalyzed by 4โ(tertโbutyldiphenylsilyloxy)โpyrrolidineโ2โcarboxylic acid in water is described. The adducts bearing two adjacent chiral centers were obtained in high yields, mostly up to 99% ee, and with high diastereoselectivities. The corresponding polyfunctional products could also be easily transformed to useful lactones with three chiral centers.
