Mukaiyama Aldol Reactions in Aqueous Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mukaiyama aldol reactions in aqueous media have been surveyed. While the original Mukaiyama aldol reactions entailed stoichiometric use of Lewis acids in organic solvents under strictly anhydrous conditions, Mukaiyama aldol reactions in aqueous media are not only suitable for green sustainable chemistry but are found to produce singular phenomena. These findings led to the discovery of a series of water-compatible Lewis acids such as lanthanide triflates in 1991. Our understanding on these beneficial effects in the presence of water will be deepened through the brilliant examples collected in this review. 1 Introduction 2 Rate Enhancement by Water in the Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction 3 Lewis Acid Catalysis in Aqueous or Organic Solvents 3.1 Water-Compatible Lewis Acids 4 Lewis-Base Catalysis in Aqueous or Organic Solvents 5 The Mukaiyama Aldol Reactions in 100% Water 6 Asymmetric Catalysts in Aqueous Media and Water 7 Conclusions and Perspective.

متن کاملGeneral switch in regioselectivity in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of silyloxyfuran with aldehydes in aqueous solvents.
An unexpected yet disciplined course of catalytic Mukaiyama-aldol reaction instead of the expected vinylogous Mukaiyama-aldol reaction has been observed for the reaction of silyloxyfuran with various aldehydes under Lewis acid catalytic control in water-containing solvents.
متن کاملHighly enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction in aqueous conditions using a chiral iron(II) bipyridine catalyst.
A highly enantioselective method for the catalytic Mukaiyama aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with aldehydes in aqueous conditions was developed. The desired aldol products were obtained in excellent yields, diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Structural evidence of the pre-catalyst revealed an unprecedented heptadentate Fe(II) complex with the chiral bipyridine ligand.
متن کاملStudy of the lanthanide-catalyzed, aqueous, asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction.
The development of efficient methods for the asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction in aqueous solution has received great attention. We have developed a new series of chiral lanthanide-containing complexes that produce Mukaiyama aldol products with outstanding enantioselectivities. In this paper, we describe an optimized ligand synthesis, trends in stereoselectivity that result from changing lant...
متن کاملThe Mukaiyama aldol reaction: 40 years of continuous development.
A directed cross-aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, promoted by a Lewis acid, a reaction which is now widely known as the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. It was first reported in 1973, and this year marks the 40th anniversary. The directed cross-aldol reactions mediated by boron enolates and tin(II) enolates also emerged from the Mukaiyama labo...
