S. Abramson et al., Direct immobilization of chiral auxiliaries on mineral supports and heterogeneous enantioselective allkylation of benzaldehyde with diethylzinc, J MOL CAT A, 165(1-2), 2001, pp. 231-242
New solid chiral auxiliaries are used in the enantioselective alkylation of
benzaldehyde with diethylzinc. These auxiliaries are obtained by direct im
mobilization of their homogeneous counterparts, (-)-ephedrine and (-)-O-met
hyl-ephedrine. on the surface of mesoporous micelle templated silicates and
aluminosilicates. Hybrid materials are characterized, and the interactions
between the heteroatoms of the organic compounds and the surface are studi
ed by FTIR spectroscopy. Efficiency of such hybrid solids is discussed. (C)
