Asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko reactions of enolizable aldehydes and ketones in the presence of chiral BINOLTi(OtBu)(2)/cinchona alkaloids complexes are described. Different configurative outcomes of these reactions depend on an equilibration through a retro aldol/aldol sequence and can be influenced by the configurative architecture of substrates. The results are explained by means of transition state models and rate constants. These considerations offer a fine-tuning of diastereoselectivity in aldol-Tishchenko reactions. Extensions of this research give access to defined configured stereotriads, stereotetrads, and stereopentads.

In this study, we analyzed the asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko reaction of α-fluoroarylketones with aldehydes in the presence of chiral lithium binaphtholate, which was readily prepared from a chiral BINOL derivative and lithium -butoxide. This tandem reaction afforded enantiomerically enriched 2-fluoro-1,3-diols with three contiguous stereogenic centers in high yield and with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Moreover, mechanistic investigations of the lithium binaphtholate-catalyzed enantioselective aldol-Tishchenko reaction were performed based on the kinetic isotope effect and computational analyses.

Herein, we present a highly diastereoselective method to furnish acyclic 3-amino-1,5-diol derivatives using a tandem double-aldol-Tishchenko protocol (dr up to >99 : 1) using a butanone derived sulfinylimine. In most cases only 1 diastereomer predominates, from a possible 16. The reaction is also regioselective.

Elaboration of enantioenriched complex acyclic stereotriads represents a challenge for modern synthesis even more when fluorinated tetrasubstituted stereocenters are targeted. We have been able to develop a simple strategy in a sequence of two unprecedented steps combining a diastereoselective aldol-Tishchenko reaction and an enantioselective organocatalyzed kinetic resolution. The aldol-Tishchenko reaction directly generates a large panel of acyclic 1,3-diols possessing a fluorinated tetrasubstituted stereocenter by condensation of fluorinated ketones with aldehydes under very mild basic conditions.

This study reports the first base-promoted aldol-Tishchenko reactions of allylic alcohols with aldehydes initiated by allylic isomerization. The reaction enables the diastereoselective synthesis of a variety of 1,3-diols with three contiguous stereogenic centers. Unlike commonly reported systems, our method allows the use of readily available allylic alcohols as nucleophiles instead of enolizable aldehydes and ketones.

The stereoselective formation of 5 contiguous chiral centers in a single pot reaction is demonstrated using an aldol, aldol-Tishchenko reaction of --butyl sulfinimines. One diastereoisomer (from 32 possibilities) predominates, and a series of cyclic and acyclic 3-amino-1,5-diol derivatives are synthesized in good yields (up to 80%) and excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >98:2 dr). Investigations support two reversible aldol steps, and multiple intermediates which are funnelled through a remarkably selective, irreversible, Tishchenko reduction, in a Curtin-Hammett phenomenon.
