supporting information; experimental part, p. 17370 - 17373 (2011/02/23)
The highly enantioselective kinetic resolution of homoaldols via a transacetalization reaction has been achieved. A novel phosphoric acid, STRIP, based on a spirocyclic 1,1′-spirobiindane backbone was designed and identified as a superior catalyst for this transformation. Remarkably, both secondary and tertiary homoaldols gave equally excellent results.

3,3-Diethoxypropyl-lithium is prepared by lithiation of the corresponding chlorinated precursor with lithium naphthalenide at - 78 deg C; the reaction of this masked propanal homoenolate with different electrophilic reagents leads to the corresponding mono- and bi-functionalized compounds.
