Abstract

(1R,2R)-10-Dialkylaminoisoborneols, γ-amino alcohol-type ligands, were synthesized from (+)-ketopinic acid. Their catalytic ability as a chiral ligand for enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes was evaluated. Among them, the ligand with a 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9-yl group as an amino moiety was the most effective and showed good enantioselectivity towards various aldehydes.

Key words

aldehydes - amino alcohols - diethylzinc - enantioselective addition - enantioselectivity
