Abstract

Abstract Inclusion compounds of α- and β-cyclodextrins(CD) with p-nitrobenzaldehyde were prepared. They underwent the aldol reactions with acetone in the presence of Zn2+ complexes of l-tyrosine ester to afford an enantiomeric excess aldol-type product. The reactions of the β-CD compound were superior to that of the α-CD one both in reactivity and asymmetric induction.
