Abstract

The enantioselective alkylation of benzaldehyde by diethylzinc in the presence of catalytic amounts of bis-erythro diethanolamines and their lithium alcoholates was studied. The extent of asymmetric induction was found to depend strongly upon subtle changes in the structure of the catalyst used.
