M. Knollmuller et al., Enantioselective addition of organometallics to aldehydes using camphor derived chiral 1,4-aminoalcohols as ligands, TETRAHEDR-A, 10(20), 1999, pp. 3969-3975
(+)-Camphor derived enantiomerically pure 1,4-aminoalcohols have been used
as ligands in the addition reactions of n-BuLi and n-BuMgBr to benzaldehyde
and in the reaction of diethylzinc with benzaldehyde and hexanal. All chir
al secondary alcohols were obtained in good chemical yields and enantiosele
ctivities were up to 87% ee in the addition of diethylzinc. (C) 1999 Elsevi
