The development of catalytic, enantioselective methods for carbonyl addition reactions is an important intense area of investigation. The majority of approaches reported to date involve the use of chiral Lewis acids that activate the aldehyde component toward addition by enol silanes. 1, 2 In contrast, the development and study of catalytic processes that recursively generate chiral enolates which participate in enantioselective addition to aldehydes has little precedence. 3-5 In this paper we report a process which appears to proceed by catalytic generation of a chiral metal dienolate initiated by a transition metal fluoride complex that is readily assembled in situ upon mixing (S)-Tol-BINAP, 6 Cu (OTf) 2, and (Bu4N) Ph3SiF2 (TBAT) in THF. The adducts are isolated for a range of aldehydes in useful yields and up to 95% enantiomeric excess (ee) utilizing as little as 2 mol% catalyst. We have chosen to focus on the use of the silyl dienolate as nucleophile since the acetoacetate products isolated are versatile synthetic intermediates allowing access not only to δ-hydroxy β-keto esters but also acetone and acetate derived aldol adducts (Scheme 1). 7 Moreover, the hydroxy keto esters that may be prepared through this process have played an important role in the ongoing development of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and Vitamin D3 analogues. 8In the most commonly exploited mechanism for catalytic enantioselective aldol addition reactions, an aldehyde is activated upon coordination to a Lewis acid to afford 1 (Scheme 2). The electrophilic complex is attacked by the enol silane 2 to produce intermediate 3 that must undergo silylation at a rate faster than the competing background rate of the silyl-catalyzed aldol addition reaction. 9
