Abstract

Morpholinone-and piperidinone-derived triazolium salts are shown to catalyze highly chemoselective cross-benzoin reactions between aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. The reaction scope includes ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted benzaldehyde derivatives with a range of electron-donating and-withdrawing groups as well as branched and unbranched aliphatic aldehydes. Catalytic loadings as low as 5 mol% give excellent yields in these ...
