摘要:
Several chiral imidazolidine disulfides 4a-d derived from L-cystine have been synthesized. These ligands have been applied as chiral catalysts in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. The best results were obtained by employing 5 mol%,, of imidazolidine disulfide 4a, and chiral secondary alcohols were obtained in up to 91% e.e. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
