title: Indene-based thiazolidinethione chiral auxiliary for propionate and acetate aldol additions.
abstract: An indene-based thiazolidinethione chiral auxiliary was prepared in two steps from trans-1-amino-2-indanol. Chlorotitanium enolates of this chiral auxiliary delivered excellent diastereoselectivities in propionate and acetate aldol additions. The chiral auxiliary was easily removed to deliver several valuable functionalities.
