Abstract

Solid support-enabled site isolation has previously allowed to use paraldehyde as an acetaldehyde surrogate in aldol reactions. However, only electron-poor aldehydes were tolerated by the system. Herein, we show that the temporary conversion of benzaldehyde into η6-benzaldehyde Cr(CO)3 circumvents this limitation. Asymmetric synthesis of (R)-Phenoperidine, as well as formal syntheses of (R)-Fluoxetine and (R)-Atomoxetine, illustrate the benefits of this strategy.
