Abstract
Abstract Optically active 1,1′- and 1,2-disubstituted ferrocenyl amino alcohols have been synthesized from 1,1′- and 1,2-ferrocene dicarboxaldehyde. They have been used as chiral catalysts in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. 1-Phenylpropanol has been obtained in up to 83% enantiomeric excess.
