Two highly enantio- and diastereoselective one-pot procedures for the synthesis of epoxy alcohols with up to three contiguous stereocenters are reported. Route one involves asymmetricaddition of an alkylzinc reagent to an enal followed by diastereoselective epoxidation. Route two entails asymmetric vinylation of an aldehyde with divinylzinc reagents and subsequent diastereoselective epoxidation. The

The inventive subject matter relates to novel processes for making an epoxy alcohol from an aldehyde, comprising the steps of: (a) adding (i) an organozinc compound or (ii) divinylzinc compound and an diorganozinc compound to said aldehyde in the presence of a first catalyst to form an allylic alkoxide compound; and (b) epoxidizing said allylic alkoxide compound in the presence of an oxidant and a second catalyst.

A 1,1'-binaphthyl-based polymeric chiral catalyst with the most general enantioselectivity for the alkylzinc addition to a broad range of aldehydes has been obtained. This polymer can be easily recovered, and the recycled polymer shows the same catalytic properties as the original polymer. A highly enantioselective catalytic diphenylzinc addition to aldehydes has also been achieved by using the chiral binaphthyl monomer and polymer catalysts. Particularly, the excellent enantioselectivity observed for the addition of diphenylzinc to aromatic aldehydes allows the preparation of optically active diaryl carbinols that are synthetically useful but difficult to access by asymmetric catalysis. A novel asymmetric reduction of ketones catalyzed by the mono- and polybinaphthyl zinc complexes has been discovered. Our work on the asymmetric organozinc addition to aldehydes and the asymmetric reduction of ketones catalyzed by the zinc complexes of chiral binaphthyl monomer (R)-12 and polybinaphthyl (R)-43 has not only provided new methods to prepare optically active secondary alcohols but also demonstrated that incorporation of an enantioselective monomeric catalyst into a rigid and sterically regular polymer structure could almost completely preserve the catalytic properties of the monomeric catalyst. This strategy may find general application in converting existing highly enantioselective monomer catalysts into polymer catalysts of similar enantioselectivity provided that the catalytically active species of the monomer catalysts contain only the monomeric units rather than the aggregates of the monomers. By using this strategy, it is possible to overcame the drawbacks associated with the traditional approach to preparing polymeric chiral catalysts where the microenvironments of the catalytic sites in the polymers are often significantly altered from those in the monomeric catalysts due to the flexible and sterically irregular polymer chains.
