(1S,2S)-Pseudoephedrine and (1S,2S)-pseudonorephedrine have been converted to their corresponding hydrazines and condensed with either o-salicylaldehyde or 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde to afford a series of β- hydroxysalicylhydrazones that have been employed in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to 2-naphthaldehyde in up to 56% ee. In addition to this, the Ephedra hydrazines were also condensed with the o-hydroxyacetophenone derivative to form related hydrazones. The use of these corresponding hydrazones in the asymmetric addition reaction with the diethylzinc did not yield improved enantioselectivities. Finally, Enders' hydrazine was used as a chiral scaffold for the synthesis of β-methoxysalicylhydrazones. These compounds were employed in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to a variety of aromatic aldehydes with enantiomeric excesses as high as 68% ee.
