ABSTRACT
Diarylprolinol was found to be an effective organocatalyst of the direct, enantioselective aldol reaction of commercially available polymeric ethyl glyoxylate, affording gamma-ethoxycarbonyl-beta-hydroxy aldehydes, versatile synthetic intermediates, in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity.
