Abstract
Whereas a dicyclohexylboron triflate/triethylamine (Cy2BOTf/Et3N)-mediated enolboration-aldolization reaction of methyl arylacetates provides anti-aldols at low temperatures, a combination of a less bulky boron reagent (dibutylboron triflate, Bu2BOTf), a bulky amine (iPr2NEt), and ambient temperature is required to obtain syn-aldols.
