摘要
Contrary to the widely accepted mechanism of the Hajos-Parrish-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction, we have obtained evidence for the involvement of only one proline molecule in the transition states of both inter- and intramolecular aldol reactions. Our conclusions are based on kinetic measurements and the absence of nonlinear and dilution effects on the asymmetric catalysis, and are supported by B3LYP/6-31G* calculations. Complementary to recent theoretical studies, our results provide the foundation of a unified enamine catalysis mechanism of proline-catalyzed inter- and intramolecular aldol reactions.
