Cooperative Al(Salen)-Pyridinium Catalysts for the Asymmetric Synthesis of <em>trans</em>-Configured β-Lactones by [2+2]-Cyclocondensation of Acylbromides and Aldehydes: Investigation of Pyridinium Substituent Effects
The <em>trans</em>-selective catalytic asymmetric formation of β-lactones constitutes an attractive surrogate for <em>anti</em>-aldol additions. Recently, we have reported the first catalyst which is capable of forming <em>trans&a...
