Th. Chan et Gz. Zheng, C-3 SYMMETRICAL OXAZOLINYL LIGAND AS CATALYST IN THE ENANTIOSELECTIVEADDITION OF DIETHYLZINC TO ALDEHYDES, Canadian journal of chemistry, 75(6), 1997, pp. 629-633
The C-3 symmetric oxazolinyl ligand 1 has been synthesized. Compound 1
catalyzed the addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes to give s
econdary alcohols with high enantiomeric excesses (up to 90%).
