Abstract / Description of output

Co(acac)(2)center dot 2H(2)O serves as an effective precatalyst for alkylative aldol cyclizations of alpha,beta-unsaturated amides with ketones using trialkylaluminum reagents. These reactions provide beta-hydroxylactams containing three contiguous stereocenters with high levels of diastereoselection.
