Breeding newcatalysts: A library of 1980 catalysts was designed for asymmetrichydrogentransfer to acetophenone. The library was submitted to evaluation and further simulated evolution experiments, based on a genetic algorithm (see scheme). We demonstrated that it was easily possible to get 5–6 of the ten best catalysts, while investigating only 10% of the library.

easily accessible chiral ligand 3c, which promoted diethylzinc addition to imines with 96-98% ee, has been found by finely screening N,N-disubstituted and N-monosubstituted aminoalcohols. N-monosubstituted aminoalcohols, on average, gave slightly higher enantioselectivities than their N,N-disubstituted analogues. These results imply that the restricted and rigid structure of aminoalcohol is not the absolute
Modification of (1R,2S)-1,2-Diphenyl-2-aminoethanol for the Highly Enantioselective, Asymmetric Alkylation ofN-Diphenylphosphinoyl Arylimines with Dialkylzinc
Experimental studies on the modification of (1R,2S)-1,2-diphenyl-2-aminoethanol, which is used to promote the alkylation of N-diphenylphosphinoyl benzalimine with diethylzinc, revealed that N-monosubstituted amino alcohols exhibited higher enantioselectivities than their N,N-disubstituted counterparts and imino alcohols. Application of the optimal chiral ligand 3c to activate the reaction of N-diphenylphosphinoyl
