A new chiral titanium reagent, derived from optically active trans-1,2-dica
mphorsulfonamidocyclohexane 2a and Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(4), was found to promote
the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to various aldehydes giving ri
se to the corresponding alcohols in high yields with moderate to high selec
tivity. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
