Abstract
Chiral ligand (A)-N,N′-Bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-arylmethyl)-1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diamine derived from the reduction of Schiff base (R)-2,2′-bis (3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-1, 1′-binaphthyl with LiAlH4, is fairly effective in the asymmetric addition reaction of diethylzinc to aldehydes by which good yields (46%-94%) of the corresponding sec-alcohols can be obtained in moderate ee (51%-79%) with R configuration for a variety of aldehydes.
