Enantioselective ortho-hydroxyalkylation of phenols promoted by chiral alkoxyaluminium chlorides

Abstract
The asymmetric ortho-specific hydroxyalkylation of phenols with trichloroacetaldehyde in the presence of chiral alkoxyaluminium chlorides gives rise to optically active 2-(2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethyl) phenols, with good optical yields.
