Abstract
Addition of diethylzinc to aromatic, aliphatic, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes afforded secondary alcohols in high yield and enantiomeric excess in the presence of β-pinene derived amino alcohols 2-MAP and 3-MAP as chiral auxiliaries. These two amino alcohols provide antipodal enantiofacial selectivity in the dialkylzinc addition reaction.
