Abstract
A highly efficient Mukaiyama aldol reaction is catalyzed by sodium phenoxide-phosphine oxides as simple homogeneous Lewis base catalysts, which minimized competing retro-aldol reaction. Various aromatic ketones and aldimines, aldol and Mannich-type products with an α-quaternary carbon center were obtained in good to excellent yields.
