In aqueous medium, the acid-induced aldol reactions of keto-aldehyde model system afford syn-aldol product via synclinal transition structure containing the hydrogen bond between an enol hydrogen and an aldehyde oxygen. The base-induced aldol cyclizations show high anti-selectivity via antiperiplanar metal free transition structure to minimize a dipole-dipole repulsion between the enolate oxygen and aldehyde oxygens.

This study has revealed a modest preference for the antiperiplanar (open transition state) orientation in Mukaiyama aldol reaction of enolsilane-aldehyde model system with representative Lewis acids and fluoride sources. With Sn(II) Lewis acids, synclinal (closed transition state) orientations which suggest bidentate coordinations are favored to give syn aldol products.
