The novel chiral N,N,O-tridentate ligands (BinThro) containing binaphthyl and phenanthroline units were developed. The enantioselective organozinc addition to aldehydes was performed in the presence of BinThro (S)-1 with up to 95% ee.

Different chiral camphorsulfonamide derivatives containing a hydroxy or a sulfonamido functionality, as well as chiral 1,2-hydroxysulfonamides, have been evaluated as chiral promoters in the classical enantioselective addition of dialkylzinc reagents to aldehydes in the presence of titanium tetraisopropoxide (ee up to 96 %). Surprisingly, ligands with a structure of isoborneol are able to promote the related unknown addition to ketones (ee >99 %), the best ligand being the exo-diol derived from 1,2-trans-biscamphorsulfonamidocyclohexane (HOCSAC).

Several new chiral tridentate ligands with the bispidine moiety were synthesized from N-alkyl bispidines and chiral amino (or hydroxyl) acids. The synthesized ligands were used as catalysts in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to several aromatic aldehydes and an aliphatic aldehyde. High yield and enantioselectivity were received in the cases of aromatic aldehydes as substrates especially when the employed chiral ligand has a hydroxyl group attached to the chiral center. The effect of the structure, the amount of tridentate chiral ligands, solvent and temperature on the enantioselectivity of the addition products were studied. A possible mechanism for the addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes in the presence of bispidine-derived ligands were proposed based upon the catalytic reaction results and referred to the mechanisms proposed for other reaction systems in literatures.
