Catalytic Asymmetric Synthesis of Optically Active Secondary Alcohols Deuterated on the Secondary Carbon by the Enantioselective Alkylation of Aldehydes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.65.1734

Optically active secondary alcohols deuterated on the secondary carbon were obtained in high enantiomeric excesses from the enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to aldehyde-formyl-d's using chiral catalysts.
