title: Asymmetric Addition of Pyridyl Aluminum Reagents to Aldehydes Catalyzed by a Titanium(IV) Catalytic System of (R)-H8-BINOLate.
abstract: The asymmetric addition of pyridyl aluminum reagents to aldehydes has been successfully developed by employing a titanium(IV) catalytic system of (R)-H8-BINOLate, which affords a series of valuable optically active diarylmethanols containing various pyridyl groups in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities of up to 98% ee.
