title: Syntheses of novel chiral sulfinamido ligands and their applications in diethylzinc additions to aldehydes.
abstract: A novel class of sulfinamido alcohol ligands 1-6 was synthesized from (S)-tert-butanesulfinamide. These ligands showed excellent catalytic activities and enantiomeric selectivities in asymmetric additions of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes.
