As an efficient catalyst for the direct asymmetryic aldol reaction the compound gave products in yield ranged from 58% to 77% with enantiomeric excess up to 88%.展开更多

Trioxane was very useful C1 resource, however, the decomposition of it was always the challenging problem that facing researchers. Herein, a novel synthetic methodology for α, β-unsaturated ester preparation from trioxane and ester with mild catalysis of generated ammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate ionic liquid. The enolization of ester as well as the decomposition of trioxane could proceed easily in the presence of boryl trifluoromethanesulfonate and amine at 20–25℃. Then the enolate and decomposed formaldehyde occurs aldol reaction to form α, β-unsaturated ester. With this strategy, the yield and selectivity of product from various substrates including aliphatic esters,lactones and thioester could reach up to 85.2% and 90.1%.展开更多
