Abstract

The synthesis of chiral ligands 4–18 derived from N-[(S)-α-phenylethyl]-trans-β-aminocyclohexanols (S,S,S)-1a and (R,R,S)-2 is described. Addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde catalyzed by ligands 4–18 (6 mol %) proceeds in fair to good yield (45–86%), and low to good enantioselectivities (1–76% ee). Highest enantioselectivities were induced by ligands (S,S,S)-4 and (S,S,S,S,R,R)-18 (76% and 68% ee, respectively). The configuration of the major enantiomer of carbinol 3 is (R) in both cases.
