Abstract
A series of novel chiral C 2-symmetric 1,1′-disubstituted ferrocenyl aziridino alcohols have been readily synthesized and applied as catalysts to promote enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes affording the corresponding 1-propanols in up to 99.5% enantiomeric excess with excellent yields. The effect of the ligand structure on the enantioselectivity was examined. The results showed that the C 2-symmetric ferrocenyl β-amino alcohol ligands could produce an excellent asymmetric environment for the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. The absolute configuration of chiral C 2-symmetric ferrocenyl aziridino alcohol ligand 8j was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.
