A Catalytic Aldol Reaction and Condensation through In Situ Boron'Ate'Complex Enolate Generation in Water

摘要

The development of new catalytic processes for C-C bond formation that can either be carried out in water or are water tolerant is an important goal in the pursuit of environmentally benign chemical synthesis.Of the water-tolerant catalytic C-C bond-forming reactions known,there are several examples of catalytic aldol reactions;however,very few of these are mediated by boron enolates.
