Abstract

A series of new chiral ligands derived from d-glucose has been synthesized and applied in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. Up to 94.1% e.e. was obtained in the ethylation reactions. In contrast to the ligands derived from d-fructose, ligands derived from d-glucose gave the opposite asymmetric induction.
