title: Novel polymer-supported chiral catalysts for the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes.
abstract: Newly synthesized polymer-supported chiral amino alcohol catalysts 5a and 5b have been proved to be effective for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes, affording the corresponding sec-alcohols in moderate enantiomeric excesses with good to excellent yields. The recycled catalyst could be reused in the same reaction without significant deterioration in performance.
