Abstract
Equation presented. Using L-proline as catalyst in the asymmetric aldol reaction and a series of benzamides and naphthamides, we have accomplished a dynamic kinetic resolution that simultaneously establishes the stereochemistry of the atropisomeric amide's chiral axis and a stereogenic center. The enantioselectivities ranged from 82% to 95% and the diastereoselectivities from 2.1:1 to 7.0:1.
