Abstract A catalytic enantioselective addition reaction of alkylzirconium species to aromatic
aldehydes is reported. The reaction, facilitated by a chiral nonracemic diol ligand complex with
Ti(OiPr)4, proceeds under mild and convenient conditions, and no premade organometallic reagents
are required since the alkylzirconium nucleophiles are generated in situ by hydrozirconation of
alkenes with the Schwartz reagent. The methodology is compatible with functionalized nucleophiles
and a broad range of aromatic aldehydes.
