Abstract
[reaction: see text] The aldol condensation of acetone with several isatins is described. The desired compound was obtained in quantitative yield and with good enantioselectivities up to 77%. The best results were obtained with 10 mol % H-D-Pro-L-beta3-hPhg-OBn as a catalyst, resulting in the preferential formation of the (R)-enantiomer. The absolute configuration of the newly formed chiral center has been assigned by an X-ray diffraction study and CD spectra analysis of the molecules.
