(figure presented) Lanthanide triflates along with proline-derived ligands have been found to be efficient catalysts for enantioselective conjugate addition of nucleophilic radicals to enoates. N-Acyl oxazolidinones, when used as achiral additives, gave meaningful enhancements in the ees for the product.

A series of chiral pyrrolidinylmethanols were synthesized from (S)-proline.Optically active secondary alcohols (R and S enantiomers, respectively) in up to 100percent enantiomeric excess (ee) were obtained in high yields from the enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to aldehydes catalyzed by 2-5 mol percent of chiral pyrrolidinylmethanols.The sense of the asymmetric induction and the degrees of enantioselectivities were highly dependent on the structure of the catalysts. (+)-DPMPM (3, tertiary amino tertiary alcohol) catalyzed the reaction of aryl, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes to afford (S) alcohols in high ee's.When the lithium salt of 3 was employed as catalyst in the reactions of aryl and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, the ee's of (S) alcohols reached 100percent.On the other hand, (-)-erythro-PNPM (10, tertiary amino secondary alcohol) afforded (R) alcohols in high ee (100percent ee).The steric course of the reaction is discussed.
