Abstract
We have developed new chiral Schiff base catalysts for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc reagents to aldehydes. The reaction of benzaldehyde with diethylzinc in the presence of 1 mol % of the chiral Schiff base catalyst proceeded to afford 1-phenyl-1-propanol in 96% enantiomeric excess (ee).
