asymmetric counteranion-directed catalysis (ACDC) - weakly coordinating anion (WCA) - chiral BArF - Mukaiyama aldol reaction
Abstract:
The design and five-step synthesis of chiral tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borate analogues from commercially available enantiopure BINOL is described. The chiral anions have been tested in a catalytic asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reaction.
