Abstract

A siloxy- l-serine organocatalyst has been developed to catalyze direct asymmetric aldol reactions in the presence of water, furnishing the β-hydroxy carbonyl scaffold in high enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The direct aldol reaction between a selection of aromatic aldehydes and cyclohexanone resulted in good yields and high enantioselectivities.
