The asymmetric aldol-Tishchenko reaction of aromatic aldehydes with aliphatic and aromatic ketones has been developed as an efficient strategy for the synthesis of anti-1,3-diols in good yield with high diastereo-control and good levels of enantiose-lectivity. This domino-type reaction is catalyzed by a chiral ytterbium complex that promotes both the aldol reaction through enolization of the carbon yl compound and the Evans-Tishchenko reduction of the aldol intermediate. The stereochemistry of the resulting diols is also investigated and finally proved by using CD techniques.

The chiral N,N-dialkylnorephedrine-catalyzed addition of dialkylzincs to aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes afforded secondary alcohols of high optical purity (to > 95percent ee).Among the N,N-di(primary alkyl)norephedrines, N,N-di-n-butylnorephedrine (DBNE, 3d) was found to be the most effective catalyst. 1-Phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)propan-1-ol (3i) and N,N-diallylnorephedrine (3j) were also highly effective catalysts.The method described provides optically active secondary aliphatic alcohols of high optical purity which cannot be prepared by conventional methods.
