Asymmetric Synthesis of Mellein Methyl Ether: Use of ortho-Toluate Carbanions Generated by Chiral Bases
Regan, Andrew C.,Staunton, James
, p. 764 - 765 (2007/10/02)
An ortho-toluate carbanion generated from (2) by the chiral lithium amide base (6), (7), or (11) undergoes an enantioselective aldol-type reaction with acetaldehyde to give mellein methyl ether (3), in up to 53 percent enantiomeric excess.
