Abstract
AbstractHerein, we describe a chemical system combining asymmetric amplification of Soai's autocatalyst alongside a catalytic addition of Zn(iPr)2 to azaaryl aldehydes. Thus, Soai autocatalyst is amplified in situ from 11 to > 98 % ee and concomitantly catalyzes the alkylation of pyridine aldehydes to provide alkanols with up to 99 % ee. Also, exceptional amplifications of ee in one cycle are observed for both compounds produced throughout the reaction, probably as a result of interactions in a reaction network coupling enantioselective autocatalysis and asymmetric induction.
