Enantioselective aldol reactions using homochiral lithium amides as non-covalently bound chiral auxiliaries

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(94)80013-8

Syn and anti aldols have been prepared from ketones and esters respectively with relatively high enantiomeric excesses, using a homochiral lithium amide possessing two coordinating sites, as non-covalently bound chiral auxiliary.
