Histidine-catalyzed asymmetric aldol addition of enolizable aldehydes: Insights into its mechanism
Scheffler, Ulf,Mahrwald, Rainer
experimental part, p. 2310 - 2330 (2012/05/20)
Extensive studies of asymmetric cross-aldol addition between enolizable aldehydes are described and provide a deeper insight into histidine-catalyzed aldol additions. In particular, aspects of enantio- as well as diastereoselectivity of these reactions are discussed. Rules and predictions of configurative outcome are explained by using different transition-state models. These discussions are confirmed by extensive computations.
