Benzyloxyacetaldehyde may be used in the following syntheses:
- (3S,5S)-methyl 6-benzyloxy-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate
- (S)-5-benzyloxy-4-hydroxypentan-2-one
- myxothiazols
Acceptor; engineering of 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate aldolase variants for enzymic preparation of β-ketols
Acceptor; engineering of 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate aldolase variants for enzymic preparation of -ketols
Benzyloxyacetaldehyde is a non-natural aldehyde. It undergoes enantioselective Mukaiyama aldol reaction with silylketene acetal nucleophiles in the presence of C2-symmetric bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine Cu(II) complex (catalyst).
