1,7,7-Tiimethyl-3-(pyrid-2-ylmethyl) bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol 4 and its 2-phenyl, 2-methyl and 2-butyl analogs 5-7 were synthesized, characterized and used as ligands for the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehydes. Best results were attained with 5 mol% of amino alcohol trans-4 (2-exo,3-endo), in hexane/toluene at rt. Thus, (IS)-1-phenylpropanol was obtained in 96% yield and 89% e.e. An increase of the size of the 2-substituent had a dramatic effect on enantioselectivity and yield. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
