P. Gamez et al., C-2 DIAMINE, PSEUDO-C-2 POLY(AMIDE) AND POLY(UREA) AS CHIRAL INDUCTORS IN ASYMMETRIC CATALYSIS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (12), 1994, pp. 1417-1418
Chiral C-2 diamine, poly(amide) and poly(urea) act as inductors both i
n asymmetric hydride transfer reduction of acetophenone and carbon-car
bon bond formation with high enantioselectivity of up to 95% enantiome
ric excess.
