Chiral aminoalcohols are promising catalysts in the enantioselective nucleophilic addition reaction of organozinc reagents to carbonyl compounds. In fact, many chiral 1,2-aminoalcohol-type ligands were known to give optical active 1-phenylpropan-1-ol over 98% ee in the reaction of diethylzinc with benzaldehyde. However, investigations on 1,3- or 1,4-aminoalcohol-type ligands would be still lacking. Thus, we designed and synthesized several new 1,3-aminoalcohol-type ligands, (1S,2R)-10-(dialkylamino)isoborneols. Initially, the reaction of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde with 5 mol % of ligands was examined. Of all, the ligand bearing granatanine as a dialkylamine moiety gave the best results (99 % yield, 94 % ee for R-isomer). The ligand also gave good enantioselectivity in the reaction using other aldehydes.
