The acid free asymmetric intermolecular α-alkylation of aldehydes in fluorinated alcohols

The acid free asymmetric intermolecular α-alkylation of aldehydes with alcohols has been discovered using trifluoroethanol as solvent. This unprecedented system affords the enantioenriched functionalized primary alcohols (after NaBH4 reduction) in high yields and good to excellent enantioselectiviti...
