Highly Enantioselective Addition of Phenylethynylzinc to Aldehydes Catalyzed by Chiral Cyclopropane-Based Amino Alcohols

The enantioselective addition of phenylethynylzinc to aldehydes catalyzed by a series of cyclopropane-based amino alcohol ligands 7 was investigated. The reactions afforded chiral propargylic alcohols in high yields (up to 96%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee) under mild condit...
