An amino alcohol ligand for highly enantioselective addition of organozinc reagents to aldehydes: Serendipity rules
Nugent, William A.
, p. 2133 - 2136 (2007/10/03)
(matrix presented) Amino alcohol 4 (or its enantiomer) is prepared in two simple steps. Commercial (1R,2S)-2-amino-1,2-diphenylethanol is dialkylated with bis(2-bromoethyl) ether. Subsequent hydrogenation over 5% Rh on alumina in the presence of morpholine unexpectedly stops at the hexahydro derivative 4. Amino alcohol 4 promotes the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes at room temperature in up to 99% enantiomeric excess.
Hydroboartion. 62. Monoisopinocampheylborane, an Excellent Chiral Hydroborating Agent for Trans-Disubstituted and Trisubstituted Alkenes. Evidenece for a Strong Steric Dependence in Such Asymmetric Hydroborations

Monoisopinocampheylborane (IpcBH2), the first monoalkylborane chiral hydroborating agent, is capable of reacting with olefins of varying stuctural and steric requiments to produce, in most cases, clean dialkylboranes.IpcBH2 achieves the asymmetric hydroboration of trans-disubstituted and trisubstituted olefins with exceptionally high asymmetric induction.The product alcohols, produced by oxidation of the intermediate organoboranes, exhibit enantiomeric purities in the range of 53-100percent ee and reveal the same absolute configuration.Enantiomeric purities of the products increase with increasing steric requirements of the alkyl or phenyl substituent in the trans-disubstituted or trisubstituted alkene.
