Abstract
Direct aldol condensation of various aromatic, heteroaromatic, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes with acyldiazomethane was realized using MgI2 etherate (MgI2·(Et2O)n) as a promoter in the presence of diisopropyl amine (DIPEA) in excellent yields in a short time under mild conditions with high chemoselectivity. Iodide counterion, and a non-coordinating less ploar reaction media (i.e., CH2Cl2) are among the critical factors for this unique reactivity.
