Abstract
The combination of Mg(ClO 4 ) 2 , bipyridine (bipy) and N-methyl morpholine generates an effective catalyst for the direct addition of α-carbonate substituted ketones to aromatic aldehydes. The diol containing products undergo direct cyclic carbonate formation to provide protected adducts in good yield with high synaldol diastereoselectivity.
