Asymmetric synthesis of 3-hydroxyl-2-alkanones is achieved via one-pot, tandem organocatalytic aminoxylation of aldehydes and chemoselective CH2N2-induced homologation. Accelerating effect of water is observed in alpha-aminoxylation. MgCl2, a Lewis acid additive, improves the chemoselectivity of the diazomethane homologation to 6:1 in favor of ketone.
