Abstract
An asymmetric intramolecular Cannizzaro reaction of aryl and alkyl glyoxals with alcohols has been realized with an unprecedented high level of enantioselectivity, on the basis of a newly developed congested TOX ligand and a gradual liberation protocol of active glyoxals from glyoxal monohydrates. Preliminary results suggested a mechanism of enantioselective addition of alcohols to glyoxals contributing most to the stereoselectivity, other than by the dynamic kinetic resolution of hemiacetal intermediates.Entities:
