S. Tanji et al., Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral 4-pyrazolylalkanols by the enantioselective alkylation of pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes with dialkylzincs, HETEROCYCLE, 53(2), 2000, pp. 381
(1 (S) under bar, 2 (R) under bar)-(N) under bar,(N) under bar-Dialkylnorep
hedrines catalyze the enantioselective alkylation of various pyrazole-4-car
baldehydes with dialkylzincs. Enantiomerically enriched secondary-4-pyrazol
ylalkanols with up to 95% e.e. were obtained.
