Abstract

A highly diastereoselective cross aldol reaction is developed using divalent tin enolates formed from stannous trifluoromethanesulfonate and carbonyl compounds. The reaction is extended to a highly enantioselective cross aldol reaction employing chiral diamines derived from (S)-proline as ligands.
