title: Catalytic enantioselective thioester aldol reactions that are compatible with protic functional groups.
abstract: This communication reports highly enantioselective and diastereoselective methyl malonic acid half thioester (MeMAHT) aldol reactions that are compatible with protic functional groups and enolizable aldehydes, affording syn S-phenyl thiopropionates.
