Abstract

The CoCl2/L-proline (1:2) system was found to be an excellent catalyst for direct aldol reactions. Excellent yields (up to 93%) and a significant improvement in diastereoselectivity (anti/syn up to 45:1) as well as enantioselectivity (up to more than 99% ee) compared with using proline as the sole catalyst were observed. This catalyst system was successfully applied to both cyclic and acyclic ketones in combination with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. In situ chelation of CoCl2 and proline (1:2) is proposed to promote the reaction through a six-membered Zimmermann-Traxler type transition state involving the positioning of proline-enamine and the aldehyde through chelation to Co-II.
