An enantioselective synthesis of (+)-(S)-[n]-gingerols via the L-proline-catalyzed aldol reaction.
An enantioselective approach to (+)-(S)-[n]-gingerols (1a-c) has been developed. The requisite stereogenic centers of target molecules are facilely constructed by the proline-catalyzed cross-aldol reaction from readily available achiral starting materials.
