Dendritic chiral auxiliaries on silica: a new heterogeneous catalyst for enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde.
This article reports the first work on the use of silica supported dendritic chiral auxiliaries for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde: the control of dendrimer propagation on the silica surface is of prime importance to obtain enhanced conversion, selectivity, and enantioselectivity.
