Vm. Demyanovich et al., Catalyzed asymmetric dialkylzinc addition to benzaldehyde in the presence of new chiral ligands - delta-(1-phenethyl)aminoalcohols, CHIRALITY, 13(8), 2001, pp. 507-509
A series of delta -aminoalcohols prepared from (S)- and (R)-N,N-dimethyl-1-
phenethylamines was found to catalyze the enantio selective addition of die
thylzinc to benzaldehyde to yield optically active 1-phenylpropanol with en
antiomeric excess 60-85%. (C) 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
