Abstract

The enantioselective addition of diorgano-H-phosphonates to aldehydes, the phospho-aldol reaction, is catalysed by both (R,R)-salcyen and (R,R)-salcyan complexes of aluminium at room temperature under aerobic conditions. However, whilst the former ligand system favours one absolute configuration of product alpha-hydroxyphosphonate ester, to the extent of
