摘要
Simple and effective multi-component one-pot aldol addition/protection reactions of beta-ketoesters to a series of aldehydes in the presence Me3SiCl and i-Pr2EtN have been described. The analysis of the scope of the reaction revealed a dramatic dependence of the reactivity on the substrates used. Thus the effect of a catalytic amount of DMF and different reaction conditions was widely investigated. Further transformations of the aldol adducts were particularly useful to give valuable diols and compounds with quaternary stereocenters, while X-ray structural analysis gave also important stereochemical information about this challenging reaction.
