Abstract

The Mukaiyama-Aldol reaction is probably one of the most efficient strategies to prepare synthetically useful β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds. However, only several reported methods were concerned with the accesses to α-fluoro-β-hydroxy esters. Herein, we report a protocol for a fluoride anion-mediated Mukaiyama aldol reaction with low catalytic loading in a short reaction time to incorporate fluorine at the α position into β-hydroxy esters. The method shows good functional-group tolerance and scale-up potential, moreover, is applicable to the late-stage modification of natural products and small molecular drugs.
