Various α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds were coordinated with aluminum tris(2,6-diphenylphenoxide) (ATPH) to give the corresponding Lewis acid-base complexes in a distinctive coordination fashion (selective coordination). ATPH recognizes carbonyl substrates and subsequently orients itself as it forms a stable complex through selective coordination with the carbonyl oxygen. Selective coordination also confers a conformational preference to each carbonyl compound under the steric and electronic influence of ATPH, which enables the vinylogous aldol reaction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding γ-aldol products with different regio- and stereoselectivities.

The four stereoisomers of the rose oxide analogue Doremox were prepared in enantiomerically enriched form by enantiospecific bakers' yeast reduction of suitable derivatives and by lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of diol precursors.

Crotonate esters substituted at C-3 by alkyl, alkoxy, or dialkylamino groups are deprotonated and the resulting dienolates added to aldehydes and ketones.Kinetic reaction is at C-2 of the ester, leading to the isolation of 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy esters such as 3 and 4 if the reaction mixture is quenched at -70 deg C.However, retroaldolization occurs readily.If the initial reaction mixtures are allowed to warm to 15 deg C before workup, the isolated products are 5,6-dihydro-α-pyrones (such as 5), accompanied in some cases by the (E)-4-substituted crotonate (such as 6).The method has been applied to the synthesis of a series of retinoid lactones (5f,18,21a-c) which are of interest as potential antineoplastic agents.
