Organocatalytic Asymmetric Aldol Reaction of Arylglyoxals and Hydroxyacetone: Enantioselective Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydroxy-1,4-diones

A highly efficient quinine-derived primary-amine-catalyzed asymmetric aldol addition of hydroxyacetone to arylglyoxals is described. Structurally diverse <i>anti</i>-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-diones were generated in high yields, with good diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.
