Abstract

AbstractPioneering aldol and Henry reactions starting from benzylic‐type alcohols are described. The aldol reaction has been successfully performed following a one‐pot strategy starting from alcohols, while the Henry reaction has been carried out following a sequential protocol for the first time. In both processes, enantiomerically enriched products were obtained with good yields and high enantioselectivities. We have also demonstrated that in reactions sensitive to small amounts of acid the use of alcohols instead of aldehydes could be a good solution for improving the results of these reactions.magnified image
