Abstract

The addition of bromomagnesium 2-vinyloxy ethoxide to various aldehydes in the presence of 10 mol% Sc(OTf)(3) provides a broad range of functionalized protected aldol compounds. The enantioselective preparation of these aldols can be achieved via a Swern oxidation-CBS reduction sequence. Use of the dioxolane derived from 2-bromocyclohexanone provides the expected aldol product as the anti diastereoisomer (dr >99:1).
