Abstract
The diastereoselective condensation reaction of arylaldehydes with optically active derivatives of propynoic acid has been examined in the presence of the Lewis acid titanium(IV) bromide (TiBr4); we have found that moderate to excellent diastereomeric excess (de) can be achieved in this TiBr4-promoted reaction.
