A convergent, homochiral bis(amino alcohol) for obtaining high enantioselectivity in the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes
A new bimetallic approach using dibenzofuran derivative as a requisite spacer has been introduced to achieve high asymmetric induction in the addition of diethylzinc: to aldehydes with otherwise ineffective amino alcohol residue.
