Direct Catalytic Aldol Reactions
Shibasakiʼs and Trostʼs contributions toward the development of catalytic enolate reactions.
ʻThe time has come,ʼ the Walrus said,ʻTo talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing wax–Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–And whether pigs have wings.ʼ

The Definition of a Direct Catalytic Enolate Addition
A large number of enantioselective aldol reactions exist:

CuF2•Tol-Binap
Carriera, 1998 Yamamoto, 1997 Chen, 1997
Preconversion to the ketone is a prerequisite for the reactions.
These are not direct aldol reactions.

A route to this reaction without stoichiometric amounts of base and/or adjunct reagents was desirable
Aldolases as Inspiration
fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) aldolases are found in E. coli.

Positives Negatives
In this case, the rxn worked better without the addition of water.
Mechanistic Insight:
Yamada, Y. M. A.; Yoshikawa, N.; Sasai, H.; Shibasaki, M. ACIE 1997, 36, 1871-1873
• Employment of the Pr related catalyst resulted upfield shift of the aldehyde proton
• Using dilithium salt of (R)-binapthol resulted in no chemical shift, afforded racemate

New Player in the Game
•This catalyst uses Zn, which mimics aldolases.
• It is easily prepared from 2,6-(bromomethyl)-p-cresol.
•Similarly, phenoxide should assist in both deprotonation and then protonation of alkoxide in product.
•One Zn is used for formation of enolate, the other for aldehyde coordination

Trostʼs Explanation of Pathway
• 3 active Hʼs suggest that 2 Zn atoms may be involved• 2 equiv of ZnEt2 per 1 equiv of ligand liberates 3 equiv of ethane• Addition of H2O, liberates 4 equiv of ethane
