Methods of Umpolung Reactivity
• Heteroatom exchange– additional synthetic steps are needed ⇒ more chances
to lose potentially valuable material
• Homologation– aldehyde – aldehyde coupling
• Benzoin condensation
– aldehyde – α, β-unsaturated carbonyl coupling• Stetter reaction

Conclusions
• The Stetter reaction is only one way to make 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds
• Utilizes umpolung reactivity to react two synthons of identical polarity
• The Stetter reaction can be used to make various substituted heterocycles
• Although enantioselective intramolecularreactions have been explored, there is still the need to develop the corresponding intermolecularreactions
