Abstract

Novel chiral bis(oxazoline) ligands bearing dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptadiene and a dihydroxy group have been synthesized and their application in the catalytic asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes investigated. The enantioselectivities for the aromatic aldehydes are generally high and up to 96% ee was obtained.
