C2-Symmetric N-(.BETA.-Mercaptoethyl)pyrrolidine as a Chiral Catalyst Ligand in the Addition Reaction of Aldehydes and Diethylzinc.

Abstract
A chiral C2-symmetric N-(β-mercaptoethyl)pyrrolidine bearing 6-membered benzylidene acetal functionalities fused at the 2, 3- and 4, 5-positions was found to exhibit high efficiency in the asymmetric addition reaction of aldehydes with diethylzinc.
