A direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction of aromatic aldehydes and thioamides is described. A soft Lewis acid/hard Bronsted base cooperative catalyst comprising (R,R)-Ph-BPE/[Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)]PF(6)/ Li(OC(6)H(4)-p-OMe) promoted the title reaction efficiently, triggered by in situ generation of the active thioamide enolate through a soft-soft interaction of Cu(I) and the thioamide. The aldol product was transformed into (R)-fluoxetine, an antidepressant agent. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
