title: Novel chiral gallium Lewis acid catalysts with semi-crown ligands for aqueous asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reactions.
abstract: Asymmetric Mukaiyama aldol reactions in aqueous media (water-ethanol = 9:1) were catalyzed by chiral gallium catalysts with semi-crown ligands to give aldol products with good yields, syn-diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.
