Synthesis of novel chiral oligopyridine derivative ligands for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde
摘要:
Several chiral dipyridine and dithiophene derived ligands have been prepared from readily available homochiral materials such as ethyl L-lactate and naproxene methyl ester, based on the dialkylation strategy using heterocyclic organometallic reagents. Each of these chiral ligands was used for the catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The best result was obtained for 3: 70% ee was achieved. A plausible mechanism for this asymmetric induction is offered, based on X-ray crystallographic data. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
