S. Abramson et al., Best design of heterogenized beta-aminoalcohols for improvement of enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2000, pp. 1773-1774
Covalent immobilization of (1R,2S)-(-)-ephedrine, used as a model molecule
of beta-aminoalcohols, on the surface of MCM-41-type mesoporous aluminosili
cates, performed by a new sol-gel method, leads to chiral auxiliaries which
show greatly enhanced rates and ee's compared to those reported up to now
in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde.
