BACKGROUND The diastereoselectivity of a vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of a series of N-substituted 4-oxy-2-trimethylsilyloxypyrroles with a tartrate-based aldehyde has been explored as a model reaction for castanospermine synthesis. RESULTS The study has revealed that the reaction is sensitive to the nature of the combination of N- and 4-oxy substituents. With a N-PMB or N-Bn and 4-met...

o-Benzenedisulfonimide, a new strong bench-stable Brønsted acid, has been shown to efficiently catalyze the Mukaiyama aldol reaction of aldehydes or dimethyl acetals with silyl enol ethers under mild solvent-free reaction conditions.

The first total synthesis of the proposed structure of astakolactin, a sesterterpene metabolite isolated from the marine sponge Cacospongia scalaris, has been achieved, mainly featuring Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction and MNBA-mediated lactonization.

A Mukaiyama aldol reaction can be catalyzed by bidentate halogen bond donors with very high efficiency. The halogenated catalysts were stable over multiple consecutive runs, which supports the halogen-bond-based mode of catalysis.

we have reported the fabrication of boric acid incorporated into surface of magnetite nanoparticles. the catalyst was characterized using spectroscopic, magnetic and thermal techniques (ft-ir, sem, xrd, icp, vsm and tga). it catalyzed mukaiyama aldol reaction of a ketene silyl acetal type nucleophile ((1-methoxy-2-methylprop-1-enyloxy) trimethylsilane), and various aldehydes (aromatic, aliphati...

In a synthetic approach to the completely protected C1-C12 fragment of the macrocyclic cytotoxic agent tedanolide 1, we carried out the tin-catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction between the 2,3-dialkoxypropanal 5 and the silyl enol ether 6 derived from the ketone 7, which gave, unexpectedly, the anti aldol isomer, rather than the expected syn isomer 4, as the major diastereomer formed.

A stereodivergent plan is presented leading to all eight stereoisomers of oseltamivir carboxylate (OC). Key chemical manoeuvers are (1) a three-component vinylogous Mukaiyama-Mannich reaction, which sets the whole carbon skeleton and heteroatom substituents, and (2) an intramolecular, silylative Mukaiyama aldol reaction, which creates the targeted carbocycle. The viability of the plan was demon...
