Kinetically Controlled Aldol Diastereoselection Achiral Reaction Partners

KINETICALLY CONTROLLED ALDOL DIASTEREOSELECTION ACHIRAL REACTION PARTNERS [Pg.13]

The ultimate goal of designing highly enantioselective aldol condensations demands that all stereochemical aspects of the bond construction process be kinetically controlled. Over the past 5 years, this objective has stimulated a great deal of research, and a wealth of new information is now becoming available on the important kinetic stereochemical control elements and possible transition state geometries for this reaction.
