Novel chiral thiolated amino alcohols were synthesized from norephedrine and thiophene carbaldehydes (methyl- or ethyl-substituted) and applied to the catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction of various aldehydes with nitromethane to provide β-hydroxy nitroalkanols in high conversion (92%). The reaction was optimized in terms of the metal, solvent, temperature and amount of chiral ligand. The corresponding catalyst with Cu(OTf)2 and 2-propanol as the solvent provided the best enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee) of the corresponding nitroalcohols for aliphatic aldehydes. Copyright 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Chiral thiophene contanining amino alcohol ligands were synthesized from norephedrine and substituted 5-thiophene-2-carbaldehyde. This novel chiral ligands were used to catalyze enantioselective Henry reaction of various aldehydes and nitroalkanes in high yields with good to high enantio- and diastereoselectivities. Copyright
Enantioselective Addition of Diethylzinc to Aromatic Aldehydes Using Novel Thiophene-Based Chiral Ligands

Abstract: Chiral norephedrine-derived β-amino alcohols with a thiophene moiety were synthesized from thiophene carbaldehydes (methyl- or ethyl-substituted) and chiral amino alcohols, such as both enantiomers of norephedrine and 2-aminopropanol. The synthesized ligands were applied to the catalytic asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes to obtain optically active alcohols with a high conversion (92%) and excellent enantioselectivities (ee up to 99%). The highest enantioselectivity (ee 99%) was obtained with p-trifluorobenzaldehyde as the substrate containing the strongly electron-acceptor CF3 group.
