Stereoselective synthesis and use in catalytic asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde of new chiral amino alcohol complexes: Influence of the chromium complexation on the enantioselectivity

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(96)00056-0

The optically active amino alcohol (arene)chromium (+)-(S,1S)-3-6 complexes were synthesized from enantiomerically pure indanone complex. As well as their uncomplexed counterparts, they have been used as chiral catalysts in the asymmetric addition of diet
