title: An improved asymmetric reformatsky reaction mediated by (-)-N,N-dimethylaminoisoborneol.
abstract: [reaction: see text] (-)-N,N-Dimethylaminoisoborneol ((-)-DAIB) was found to be an excellent ligand for the enantioselective addition of Reformatsky reagents to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. Enantioselectivities up to 93% ee were obtained with sulfur-containing aldehydes.
