Abstract

Abstract Bisoxazoline (BOX)-catalyzed asymmetric nucleophilic addition of diethyl zinc to fluorinated alkyl ketones successfully afforded enantioenriched fluorinated alkyl tertiary alcohols. The effect of the size of the substituent on the oxazoline ring on the stereoselectivity of the reaction was investigated. Furthermore, the enantioselectivity could be reversed by altering the BOX bridge structure while retaining the C-4 substituent on the oxazoline ring.
