Diethylzinc was treated with 1 or 2 equiv. of AlkMgCl or PhMgBr (preferably) or with 1 equiv. of nBuLi (less efficiently) for forming species – plausibly zincates – which were sulfinylated by diaryl sulfoxides to give racemic alkyl aryl sulfoxides in yields reaching 100 %. Dialkylzinc reagents were also activated by treatments with 1 or 2 equiv. of an enantiomerically pure alkylmagnesium β-aminoalkoxide. This worked best when the alkoxide stemmed from a dialkylmagnesium reagent and an equimolar amount of N-methyl-(–)-ephedrine. This second activation mode allowed sulfinylations of what was originally the dialkylzinc reagent with diaryl sulfoxides. This generated alkyl aryl sulfoxides with enantiomeric ratios up to 93:7 in up to 100 % yield.

Reaction of diethylzinc with α-branched aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of (1R,2S)-(-)-1-phenyl-2-piperidinopropane-1-thiol 1 provided the corresponding secondary alcohols in almost 100percent enantiomeric excess.
Chiral N,N-Dialkylnorephedrines as Catalysts of the Highly Enantioselective Addition of Dialkylzincs to Aliphatic and Aromatic Aldehydes. The Asymmetric Synthesis of Secondary Aliphatic and Aromatic Alcohols of High Optical Purity

The chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrine-catalyzed addition of dialkylzincs to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes afforded secondary alcohols of high optical purity (to > 95percent ee).Among the N,N-di(primary alkyl)norephedrines, N,N-di-n-butylnorephedrine (DBNE, 3d) was found to be the most effective catalyst. 1-Phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)propan-1-ol (3i) and N,N-diallylnorephedrine (3j) were also highly effective catalysts.The method described provides optically active secondary aliphatic alcohols of high optical purity which cannot be prepared by conventional methods.
