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.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The formation and 2-amino alcohol catalyzed addition of arylzinc reagents from and with boronic acids, respectively, is drastically accelerated to a few minutes under microwave irradiation without loss of enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). Of the amino acid derived catalysts tested, the conformationally restricted bulky substituted aziridine-2-methanols derived from serine show the best overall performance in the formation of diarylmethanols.
Catalyzed asymmetric aryl transfer reactions to aldehydes with boroxines as aryl source

Asymmetric aryl transfer of triphenylboroxin to a set of aryl aldehydes has been carried out in the presence of chiral amino alcohols derived from (S)-proline with high enantioselectivity. Substituted phenyl boroxins were also used as aryl source in asymmetric arylation of benzaldehyde.
