New C-2-symmetric chiral 2,2'-bipyridine diols were prepared from readily available homochiral materials such as menthone and camphor. Their catalytic activities in the reaction of diethylzinc with benzaldehyde to give 1-phenyl-1-propanol were studied. In all cases, the yields were good and enantioselectivities up to 95% were observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
