Enantioselective reduction of ketones, particularly acetophenones, by polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) to the corresponding secondary alcohols can be achieved with high yields and enantiomeric excesses (ee's) up to 88% in the presence of chiral zinc catalysts (eq 1). Two catalytic systems have been developed giving similar ee's: (i) System A: ZnEt2 + chiral diimine or diamine 1-10, (ii) System B: Zn(carboxylate)(2) + chiral diamine activated by Vitride. System B is inexpensive, stable, and ready to use in toluene, providing either (R) or (S) chiral secondary alcohols with 70-80% ee in the presence of (S,S)- or (R,R)-N,N'-ethylenebis-(1-phenylethylamine) (ebpe, 6). The reduction has been carried out at the 1 kg scale without scale-up problems. The ligand is cheap and is recovered at the end of reaction by simple distillation from residues of the organic phase. Both precursors ZnMe2.(S,S)-ebpe (A) and Zn(dea)2 (S,S)-ebpe(B) for systems A and B, respectively, have been isolated and characterized by X-ray structure and exhibit the same catalytic properties and the same ee's for the reduction of acetophenone as the in situ prepared catalytic system. The complex ZnEt2 (S,S)-ebpe) (A') reacts with benzaldehyde to give the seven-membered ring dimer complex La in which benzaldehyde inserts into the Zn-N bond of complex A'. Acetophenone also reacts with A' to give a similar seven-membered ring dimer complex Lb. Both La and Lb are catalysts for the enantioselective reduction of acetophenone by PMHS and gave activities and ee's similar to those of A'. Synthetic and mechanistic aspects of this new economical method are discussed in this paper.

A diastereoselective synthesis of vicinal diamines via the reactions of allylic Grignard reagents with readily available "protected" 1,2-bisimines has been developed. This method has been extended to preparing optically pure diamines by the use of chiral 1,2-bisimine precursors.

The reaction of the enantiomerically pure bis-imine derived from glyoxal and (R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine with PhMgCl in diethylether is highly diastereoselective, resulting in the selective formation of the C-2 symmetric vicinal diamine 7.
