title: Highly enantioselective synthesis of tertiary alcohols: C2-symmetric N,N'-dioxide-Sc(III) complex promoted direct aldol reaction of alpha-ketoesters and diazoacetate esters.
abstract: A C(2)-symmetric N,N'-dioxide-Sc(III) complex has been developed to promote the asymmetric catalytic aldol reaction of alpha-ketoesters and diazoacetate esters to afford tertiary alcohols in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
