摘要:
Direct aldol reactions of 4-methyl-1-piperidone, tropinone and granatanone (pseudopelletierine) take place spontaneously in the presence of water without any catalyst or additional reagents. The anti/syn-diastereoselectivity of the aqueous aldol reaction depends on the amount of water used. The syn-selectivity of the reaction is probably due to the thermodynamic control. Excellent atom economy and low E factors together with anti-selectivity as high as 98:2 for the tropinone aldol were obtained. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
