Literature References

Aliphatic aldehydes undergo the acyloin condensation in the presence of this catalyst and mild base. For example (butyraldehyde to butyroin), see: Org. Synth. Coll., 7, 95 (1990). The same system is effective in catalyzing the addition of aldehydes to electron-deficient alkenes, including ɑß-unsaturated ketones, esters and nitriles (Stetter reaction), providing a non-toxic alternative to cyanide in these reactions; e.g. in the synthesis of dihydrojasmone: Org. Synth. Coll., 8, 620 (1993): For reviews, see: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 15, 639 (1976); Org. React., 40, 407 (1991). For a further example, see Phenyl­ vinyl­ sulfone, A14794.

Applications

3-Benzyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolium chloride, aliphatic aldehydes undergo the acyloin condensation in the presence of this catalyst and mild base. It acts as a catalyst for the addition of aliphatic and heterocyclic aldehydes to α,β-unsaturated ketones, nitriles and esters.
