We have developed chiral Schiff base catalysts based on the ONO-tridentate ligand for the catalytic enantioselective addition of dialkylzinc to aldehydes. Various aldehydes were smoothly converted into corresponding optically active secondary alcohols with high enantioselectivity (up to 98 % ee) in high yield. Furthermore, we have succeeded in decreasing the catalyst loading minimum to 0.1 mol % in the chiral Schiff base-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of aldehydes.
我们基于ONO三齿配体开发了手性席夫碱催化剂,用于催化二烷基锌对醛的对映选择性加成反应。各种醛能顺利地转化为相应的光学活性仲醇,对映选择性高(高达98% ee),产率也高。此外,在醛的手性席夫碱催化对映选择性烷基化反应中,我们成功地将催化剂负载量最低降至0.1 mol%。
