Enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes using 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol-3,3′-dicarboxamide as a chiral auxiliary

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1996.343

A highly enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to a wide range of aldehydes was achieved by using N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkyl-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol-3,3′- dicarboxamides as chiral auxiliaries.
