  • Patent number: 6362344
    Abstract: Chiral aminoalcohol catalysts and methods for their preparation are provided. The first catalyst is prepared via selective hydrogenation of one of two benzene rings in a precursor. The aminoalcohol promotes the asymmetric addition of organozinc reagents to aldehydes to afford optically active alcohols or their esters. The second catalyst is prepared by selective dialkylation of 3-exo-aminoisoborneol with a 2-haloethyl ether. The aminoalcohol promotes the addition of organozinc reagents to aliphatic aldehydes containing a &bgr;-branch with greatly enhanced enantioselectivity relative to DAIB.
