A series of planar chiral ligands derived from [2.2]paracyclophane were synthesized and applied as catalysts in enantioselective additions of diethylzinc to aldehydes and α,β-unsaturated ketones. When ligand 10 with a dimethyl hydroxymethyl as the substituent was used, the enantioselectivity of the reaction of diethylzinc with aldehydes was much higher than when using ligand 3c with diphenyl hydroxymethyl as the substituent. The situation was the same with the 1,4-addition of diethylzinc to α,β-unsaturated ketones with 63-83% ee being obtained when the hydroxymethyl substituted ligand 7b was used, while almost no enantioselectivity was afforded if ligand 3c was used. The role of planar chirality is also studied.

Efficient syntheses leading to 4-amino-13-carboxy[2.2]paracyclophane and derivatives are described. Novel oxazolinyl[2.2]paracyclophanes are used as intermediates and the oxazolinyl and amide groups are shown to be strong ψ-geminal directing groups. Compounds with potential as catalysts have been made. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
