Highly enantioselective synthesis of syn- and anti-propionate aldols without diastereoselection in the chiral oxazaborolidinone-promoted aldol reaction with a silyl ketene acetal derived from ethyl 2- (methylthio)propionate

A mixture of syn- and anti-aldol products containing an α-methylthio group were obtained in good yields with high enantioselectivities in the chiral oxazaborolidinone-promoted aldol reactions of a novel silyl ketene acetal, derived from ethyl 2-(methylthio)propionate, with aldehydes. Subsequent desulfurization resulted in an effective preparation of essentially enantiopure syn- and anti-propionate aldols which were separable.
