Abstract
The direct aldol reaction of 1,2-diketones and ketones mediated by proline derivatives yields the corresponding 2-hydroxy 1,4-diketones in high regioselectivity, diastereoselectivity and good enantioselectivity. This reaction provides an easy access to optically active tertiary alcohols, which are flanked by two carbonyl groups for further elaborations.
