title: Enantio- and diastereoselective reductive aldol reactions with iridium-pybox catalysts.
abstract: [see reaction]. A catalytic amount of [(cod)IrCl]2 and indane-pybox converts diethylmethylsilane, methyl acrylate, and certain aldehydes to the derived reductive aldol adduct with good enantio- and diastereocontrol.
