Catalytic enantioselective aryl transfer: asymmetric addition of diphenylzinc to aldehydes

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.1039/A903884A

Abstract

The asymmetric addition of diphenylzinc to aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amounts of a planar chiral ferrocene-based hydroxy oxazoline affords products with enantiomeric excesses of up to 96%.
