comparison of the specific optical rotation with literature and the others
were assigned by analogy.[11]

In conclusion, we have developed an excellent enantioselective
and chemoselective Darzens reaction between aldehydes and
diazoacetamides catalyzed by a chiral titanium complex formed
in situ from commercially available (+)-Pinanediol and Ti(OiPr)4.
When aliphatic aldehyes were used, the cis-glycidic amides were
obtained in good yields (up to 92%) and with excellent
enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). For the aromatic aldehydes, the
Darzens reaction products were obtained in good yields and with

10 moderate to high enantiomeric purities. Compared with Gong’s
BINOL/Ti system,[11a] our system showed better yields and
slightly better enantioselectivities for some aliphatic aldehydes,
but lower enantioselectivities for most of the aromatic aldehydes.
Under the optimized reaction condition, no Roskamp-type
15 products formed for all of the cases. Also, no trans-diastereomer
was detected by 1H NMR analysis of the crude products.
Currently, we are investigating other catalytic systems in the
asymmetric Darzens reaction.
