Abstract
AbstractThe direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction offers efficient access to β‐hydroxy carbonyl entities. Described is a robust direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of α‐sulfanyl 7‐azaindolinylamide, thus affording both aromatic and aliphatic β‐hydroxy amides with high ee values. The design of this transformation features a cooperative interplay of a soft and a hard Lewis acid, which together facilitate the challenging chemoselective enolization by a hard Brønsted base.
