Abstract

A chiral metallocyclic Lewis acid based catalyst system derived from norephedrine is reported. A key stereodirective element emanates from a tricarbonyl chromium (0) group complexed to the aryl ring. The catalysts mediate the addition of dialkyl zinc species to a variety of aldehydes with high enantioselectivity.
