Abstract
Abstract The aminoalcohols (1R)-2-N[(R)-1-phenylethyl]amino-1-phenylethanol, (1R)-2-N[(S)-1-phenylethyl]amino-1-phenylethanol, and (1R)-2-N-methyl-N[(R)-1-phenylethyl]amino-1-phenylethanol, synthesized by simple procedures, have been used as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to arylaldehydes, obtaining optically active 1-arylpropanols in good chemical yields (47 to 95%) and e.e.s up to 88%.
