Abstract

The asymmetric cross-aldol reaction of α,α-disubstituted acetaldehydes with commercial ethyl glyoxylate polymer was successfully catalyzed by diphenylprolinol silyl ether 3 to generate all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers with good enantioselectivity. Diphenylprolinol silyl ether is an effective organocatalyst in the asymmetric cross-aldol reaction of α,α-disubstituted acetaldehydes with commercial ethyl glyoxylate polymer to generate all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers with good enantioselectivity.
