J. Priego et al., Aminosubstituted tert-butylsulfinylferrocenes as a new family of chiral ligands: asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes, CHEM COMMUN, (19), 2001, pp. 2026-2027
A ready access to a new family of planar chiral ferrocenes, the (R-Fc,R-S)-
2-amino substituted 1-tert-butylsulfinylferrocenes, is described; in the ca
se of the sulfonamide series enantioselectivities of up to 96% were obtaine
d in the addition of Et2Zn to aromatic aldehydes.
