Abstract

The addition of acyl anion equivalents to aliphatic aldehydes (crossed-acyloin reaction) has been developed. Cesium fluoride with isopropanol as solvent promotes the addition of O-silyl thiazolium carbinols to various aliphatic aldehydes in moderate to good yields. These reactions represent a general procedure for the selective coupling of aliphatic aldehydes by an acyl anion reaction which have been problematic until now.
