Abstract
Unusual nonlinear asymmetric amplification and chiral ligand loading effects were discovered for the use of catalytic quantities of chiral aminoalcohols in the in situ hydrozirconation-transmetalation-aldehyde addition processes. While the stereochemically most efficient aminothiol ligands demonstrated mechanistically conventional reaction parameters in excellent agreement with Kagan's ML(2) system, the asymmetric induction in the presence of a chiral aminoalcohol was found to vary greatly with loading and %ee of the ligand. Aminothiols remain the ligands of choice for the highly enantioselective formation of allylic alcohols and provide experimentally more predictable reaction variables. However, new, optimized conditions lead to a synthetically useful product %ee using the readily available and scalable aminoalcohol 2a.
