<title>Abstract</title>A catalytic enantioselective aldol reaction of alkenyl esters with α-keto esters was achieved by using an (R)-BINOL-derived chiral tin dibromide possessing 4-t-butylphenyl groups at the 3- and 3′-positions as a chiral precat...
The methods of asymmetric α-hydroxylation of carbonyl compounds and their equivalents, affording optically active α-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, are described here. First, enantioselective α-hydroxylation of preformed metal enolates and silyl enol ...
The demand for functionalized aromatic compounds is growing rapidly in many research fields. Therefore, the efficient synthesis of desired aromatic compounds is a critical issue in organic synthesis. In this account, we describe new synthetic appr...
