Stereoselective reactions of enolates• Chiral auxiliaries are frequently used to allow diastereoselective enolate reactions• Possibly the most extensively studied are the Evan’s oxazolidinones• These are readily prepared from amino acids

• Enolate formation gives the cis-enolate (remember enolisation of amides)• Two possible conformations exist - but chelation results in one being preferred

Diastereoselective alkylation of Evan’s enolate
• Clearly (I hope) one face of the enolate is blocked• Chelation results in a rigid structure that provides maximum steric hindrance• The electrophile can only approach from one face

Removal of the auxiliary
• For an auxiliary to be of any use in synthesis it must be readily removed• Oxazolidinones are easily converted to carboxylic acids, esters and alcohols

α-Substitution of prochiral aldehydes & ketones
• A simple auxiliary for the reaction of the enolates of ketones & aldehydes is Ender’s hydrazones, SAMP & RAMP
• A rigid enolate-like structure allows highly diastereoselective reactions• Hydrolysis is not always possible & the auxiliary must be removed via ozonolysis

Chiral auxiliaries & the aldol reaction
• Initially, boron-enolate formation gives the chelate • This must be broken for the boron to chelate the aldehyde, a requirement of the aldol• The auxiliary then rotates to minimise steric and electronic repulsions• Aldehyde approaches from the opposite face to auxiliary

Reversal of diastereoselectivity
• The reaction can be made to favour anti diastereoisomer by forcing it to proceed via an ‘open’ transition state
• The aluminium Lewis acid preferentially coordinates to the aldehyde instead of the boron

Chiral reagents in the aldol reaction
• Hopefully it is becoming clear that the use of chiral reagents is more efficient• In this reaction, the standard pinene derivative is being utilised• The transition state is analogous to that of Brown allylation• Interaction between the enolate and the methyl group of the Ipc moiety is minimised

Chiral reagents in the aldol reaction II
• Once again, the geometry of the enolate is important - it controls relative stereochemistry
• Use of the thio-ester results in the cis-enolate and thus the syn aldol • Alternatively, use of the ester & a change of solvent gives the trans-enolate & anti
product

Chiral catalysis and the aldol reaction
• The Mukaiyama aldol reaction is the reaction of silyl enol ethers with aldehydes• The reaction can be catalysed by chiral Lewis acids• The above example shows the use of a boron derivative of tryptophan • The example below utilises a bis(oxazoline) ligand; these amino acid derived
ligands are extremely versatile ligands for enantioselective synthesis (note they are symmetric but chiral)
• The regioselectivity probably results from attack at the least hindered carbonyl

The catalytic direct aldol reaction
• All the stereoselective aldol reactions we have looked at so far involve the preparation of activated enolate prior to reaction (metal or boron enolate or silyl enol ether)
• This adds additional steps to our methodology• More attractive is the direct aldol reaction of non-activated carbonyl groups• Above shows Trost’s bimetallic zinc catalyst for the reaction of acetone• Shibasaki has also designed a number of bifunctional catalysts for this reaction

Organocatalysis I
• Secondary amines can be utilised as catalysts in enolate-like chemistry• Initially an enamine is formed that then reacts in a diastereoselective manner• Finally, in situ hydrolysis gives the product and regenerates the catalyst

Organocatalysis II
• Proline can catalyse the direct aldol reaction of simple aldehydes• Other simple amino acids can also be used in this reaction• In addition a number of derivatives have been prepared that show more ‘practical’
characteristics• Those interested in this are directed towards the work of List, Barbas III and the
excellent review of Dalko & Moisan (2004Angew5138)
