摘要

A new method for the catalytic aldol reaction to ketones, using CuF⊙ 3PPh3⊙ 2EtOH complex as the catalyst and (EtO) 3SiF as the additive, is described. The reaction can be applied to a wide range of ketones and trimethylsilyl enolates. On the basis of mechanistic studies, a working hypothesis for the catalytic cycle is proposed, in which the dynamic ligand exchange mediated by copper silicates produces the active copper enolate. Moreover, the ...
